Modifying comparisons

A big difference – much, a lot, far

We can modify comparative adjectives to show that there is a big difference between things.
• My brother is much taller than me.
 I am a lot shorter than my brother.
 That t-shirt is far too expensive.

We can also say that things are completely or totally different from each other.
· The two look similar but they’re completely / totally different from each other.

A small difference – slightly, a little, a bit, not much

We can show there is a small difference.
 My brother is slightly taller than me.
 I’m a bit shorter than my brother.
This t-shirt is not much more expensive than the other one.

No difference – exactly, more or less, roughly

We can show that there is no difference or almost no difference.
 He’s exactly the same size as me. (No difference)
We are more or less the same height. (A tiny difference)
