Ta sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người(hoặc vật) này với người(hoặc vật) khác.

II. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn:
Đối với tính từ ngắn Đối với tính từ dài
S1 + to be + adj +er + than + S2

 từ

đơi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuơi -er
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù cĩ 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn Happy-happier, 
 bỏ “y” và thêm đuơi “ier” Pretty-prettier
Lưu ý: Một số tính từ cĩ hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “et, ow, er, y” thì áp dụng như quy tắc thêm er ở

Bai15: Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời câu hỏi: The nomadic life of Mongolian
Mongololian people nowadays still maintain their tradition of a nomadic life. About half of 
mongolian population do not settle down but travel from place to place every season. When you 
think of Mongolian nomads, you think of animal farmers. Their most valuable possessions are their 
tents and cattle. Mongolian has severe weather. There are dramatic changed in weather condotions 
between seasons. That is the reason why Mongolian have to move location throughout the year to the 
most appropriate spots. In winter, they often move in front of a mountain for shelter. In spring, it’s 
closer to a river, in summer right next to a river for water supply, and in autumn up a hill to collect 
hay for winter time. Most nomads move at least four times a year but some might move up to 30 
times in a year ,especially if they have a lot of animals that eat through the vaibable food quickly.
The number of namads has, however, significantly decreased over last years. More and more of its 
citizens move to Ulaanbaatar because they want to look for an education and a professional 
job.Mongolia is in a period of rapid change.
