a)  …….er and …….er To form this structure we have to add “er” to the adjective to form a comparative adjective. It is used with adjectives and short adverbs; such as, closer and closer, longer and longer. Examples: She is getting clos er   and  clos er  of her mother. By the end of the twentieth century, couples were waiting long er and  long er  to marry. b)  more and more We can use this structure with long adjectives or adverbs ; for example, more and more difficult, more and more slowly. Examples: It’s becoming  more and more  difficult. He is going  more and more  slowly.
