From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc. StructureThe structure of a comparative in English consists normally of the positive form of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -er, or (in the case of polysyllabic words borrowed from foreign languages) the modifier "more" (or "less"/ "fewer") before the adjective or adverb. The form is usually completed by "than" and the noun which is being compared, e.g. "he is taller than his father is", or "the village is less picturesque than the town nearby". "Than" is used as a subordinating conjunction to introduce the second element of a comparative sentence while the first element expresses the difference ("our new house is larger than the old one"). There is less water in Saudi Arabia than there is in the United States; but however, there are fewer people in Canada than there are in California.

Answered by unknown - Tue May 5 05:29:56 2009 What kind of jobs can i get with a degree in philosophy/comparative literature? Q. now I think I pretty much gave up my plan to be a doctor as a result of my abhorrence for any lab-related classes. But i know there isn't much option for my current major right now, which is philosophy and possibly comparative literature as well. Is it even possible to get a decent-paying job with those degrees? Yes, I am planning to enter grad school and further equip myself. Asked by slicinglife - Thu Oct 23 11:38:08 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Philosophy is a degree you can literally take anywhere, The skills it teaches you are the natural leadership abilities that are in high demand in todays work place (communication, logic, conflict resolution, problem solving, and an ability to adapt to any enviornment). Particularly, philosophy is a good preparation for law school because you deal with ethical as well as metaphysical issues. Answered by Ayla - Thu Oct 23 11:45:08 2008 Does it makes a difference if you take human anatomy opposed to comparative when applying to med school?
Q. i was just wondering if you think there is a big difference in the eyes of med school if you take human anatomy instead of taking comparative anatomy, and if there is a big difference if there is still a good chance of getting in if you do well in the class. thanks Asked by jdl12321 - Wed Aug 27 08:31:18 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm assuming you're applying to med school in the U.S. Honestly, it doesn't matter which course you take. The important courses are your required biology, physics, organic chem, inorganic chem, math, and english courses. If you did well in these courses and your MCAT scores, then I wouldn't worry about which class you take. However, if you take human anatomy prior to medical school, you will have an advantage when you take it again in medical school since you will already be familiar with it, but I'm pretty sure the medical school course will be more extensive. Hope this helps.
