  A Comparative Adjective is a word that describes
a noun by comparing it to another noun.

Comparative adjectives typically end in 'er' and

are followed by the word 'than’.

The sentence structure should look something like this:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective
+ than + noun (object).
