- My brother is taller than I am, but he is older too.
- A rose is more beautiful than a daisy.
- The Earth is larger than the moon.
Comparative and superlative
- Comparative adjectives compare one noun to another noun.
- Superlative adjectives compare three or more nouns or one noun against a group of nouns.

If the main sentence is negative, the question tag should be positive. The pattern followed by a positive question tag is:
auxiliary + subject
Examples of Positive question tag:
