Explanation :

• Comparison of Adjectives are of three types, they are - Positive Degree, Comparative Degree and Superlative Degree.

• Comparative degree compares between two dissimilar things. Here Comparative Degrees are 'richer', 'taller', 'larger', 'higher' and 'more'. It takes 'than' after Comparative degree to compare between two dissimilar things or objects. When a sentence turns into Superlative Degree to Comparative Degree, 'any other' and 'all other' are used.

• Example : I can do it better than you.
