What is a comparative pronoun?

A comparative pronoun is a pronoun that compares two or more things, people, or ideas.

Here are the common comparative pronouns:

* who (used for people)

* whom (used for people as the object of a verb or preposition)

* which (used for things or animals)

* that (used for both people and things)

* what (used for things or ideas)

Here are some examples of comparative pronouns in sentences:

* Who is taller, you or your brother?

* Which car do you like better, the red one or the blue one?

* I don't know what to do.

* That is the book I was telling you about.

* Whom did you go to the movies with?

Important points to remember:

* Comparative pronouns are often followed by a clause that explains the comparison.

* They are essential for making clear and concise comparisons.
