English Grammar – Comparative & Superlative Adjectives – Exceptions
This lesson is a follow-up to my previous English lessons on comparative and superlative adjectives. It focuses on some common exceptions to the regular grammatical rules. The earlier lessons in this series are here:
1. Comparative Adjectives
2. Superlative Adjectives
Make sure to watch those before you watch this one, and don’t forget to take the quiz below to test your knowledge of these grammar issues!

At your last example:
I live far from work.
Mary lives farther.
John lives the farthest.
Can we use: Mary lives farther. (without second object)?
Or we should tell: Mary lives farther than I do.
Please, advise.
Hi Red Deer,
If you said “I live far from work. Mary lives farther.” It would be correct or you could express the same thought in the sentence that you wrote “Mary lives farther from work than I do.” Both are correct.
