Kata kerja ada juga yang berkonstruksi verb + preposition + verb + ing.

Kita menggunakan akhiran adjective + -er + than jika adjective tersebut terdiri dari satu atau dua suku kata, sedangkan untuk adjective yang terdiri dari dua suku kata atau lebih dari dua suku kata, kita menggunakan more + adjective + than. Perhatikan bahwa untuk adjective yang terdiri dari dua suku kata, ada yang menggunakan adjective + -er + than, ada yang menggunakan more + adjective + than. Untuk adjective yang demikian, kita harus menghafalkannya. Untuk mengetahui hal tersebut, kita juga dapat memeriksanya di dalam kamus. Kamus yang baik memberitahukan kita hal ini.

Tata Cara Penambahan akhiran -er pada kata sifat (adjectives)
| (1) | Tambahkan akhiran -er pada adjective yang terdiri dari satu suku kata. |
| (2) | Jika adjective terdiri dari tiga suku kata gunakan more. |
| (3) | Jika adjective terdiri dari dua suku kata, periksa di kamus karena adjective yang bersuku kata dua ini ada yang menggunakan akhiran -er dan ada yang menggunakan more. Ada juga yang menggunakan keduanya seperti handsome → more handsome atau handsomer dan polite → more polite atau politer. |
| (4) | Gunakan more untuk adjective yang berakhiran -ed, -ful, -ing, dan -ous |
| Contoh: more surprised, more beautiful, more boring, more dangerous. | |
| (5) | Jika adjective yang terdiri dari satu suku kata tersebut berakhiran huruf mati dan didahului oleh huruf hidup, penulisan huruf mati harus didobel (big → bigger, hot → hotter). |
