For this we use comparative adjectives to describe the differences. To compare we use the following pattern: Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object). Formation of Comparative Adjectives: There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective: short adjectives: add "-er". long adjectives: use "more".

Example: Elena eats a lot of ice cream , she really likes it. In this sentence, we use the object pronoun "it" because we are referring to the ice cream. In this case we avoid repeating "ice cream".

Just like subject pronouns, object pronouns can be singular or plural, masculine, feminine, or gender neutral. The masculine or fem
