    In indirect speech, we remove the comma after Reporting Verb and also the inverted commas of Reported Speech. In addition, as reporting verb is in Past tense, the Reported Speech will be changed from past indefinite to past perfect tense. Here will be changed into there and Yesterday into the day beRead more

    In indirect speech, we remove the comma after Reporting Verb and also the inverted commas of Reported Speech. In addition, as reporting verb is in Past tense, the Reported Speech will be changed from past indefinite to past perfect tense.

    In 1-syllabled adjectives, we use -er in the end for comparative degree. Cool is a 1-syllabled adjective. So, we use cooler when comparing to another thing. e.g. the weather is cooler than yesterday. However in certain situations, we use more with cool. e.g. She is more cool, patient and sweet thanRead more

    However in certain situations, we use more with cool. e.g. She is more cool, patient and sweet than her friend. Here we have three adjectives, so more cool looks appropriate rather than cooler.

    Usually, calmer (the comparative degree of calm) is used in a sentence. e.g. He is calmer than his brother. Here calmer is an adjective and adding to the meaning of noun.

    Usually, calmer (the comparative degree of calm) is used in a sentence. e.g. He is calmer than his brother. Here calmer is an adjective and adding to the meaning of noun.

    However we can use “more” with calm in certain situations. e.g. She is more calm, patient and mature. In this case, we have three adjectives. Hence use of more seems to be more appropriate.

    We can now conclude that most of the times, we use calmer. However depending on the structure of sentence, we can use more with adjective i.e. calm.

    Here is the simple rule for making comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives. 1 syllable adjective + -er Honey is sweeter than sugar 2 syllables more + adjective Kashmir is more beautiful than Jammu 2 syllables ending in -y drop -y from adjective +-ier I am happier than him.

    Here is the simple rule for making comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives.

    1 syllable adjective + -er Honey is sweeter than sugar
    2 syllables more + adjective Kashmir is more beautiful than Jammu
    2 syllables ending in -y drop -y from adjective +-ier I am happier than him.

    So, we  use fresher instead of more fresh because fresh is a single syllable adjective. e.g. The air is fresher here than in Delhi.

    However, in some cases, we use more with fresh. e.g. The beans are more fresh and tasty than ladyfingers. Here more fresh seems to be appropriate because we are using two adjectives.
