This waist-coat is very pretty; it is much prettier
than my brother's. This child is very lively. The prettiest
clothes are not always the strongest. My sister is much
livelier than my cousin. This young gentleman is very
gay; he is much gayer than is agreeable to his parents
and relations. He is the gayest of the gay.
Are these children diligent and attentive? Not always;
today they have been more diligent and attentive than
usual. The most diligent and attentive scholars make the
most progress in their studies. Some poor men are more
honest than some rich people. The richest people are not
always the most honest. Mangoes are more wholesome
than jack-fruits. Good books are more valuable than
fine clothes.
That pin is very thin; but here is one which is still
thinner. Give me the thinnest of all your needles. Last
summer it was wet, but this summer it has been much
wetter; it has been the wettest summer which I can re-
member. Our dog is big, but my uncle's is much bigger.
I believe it is the biggest dog in the whole village. This
book is as expensive as your map. This book is not so
expensive as your map. This book is more expensive
than your map. Oranges are more wholesome than
mangoes and jack-fruits. I like this dress best. What
do you like best coffee or tea?
