What are double comparatives

Double comparatives are phrases commonly used in English to express cause and effect relationship. Often employed to underline the importance of doing or not doing a certain activity.

EXAMPLES

The (more / less) + (noun / noun phrase) subject + verb + , + the (more / less) + (noun) subject + verb

The more you study, the more you learn. The more time you take, the better the assignment your turn in. The less money I spend, the less I have to worry about saving. The less you worry about the others, the less they will bother you.

The faster the car is, the more dangerous it is to drive. The crazier the idea is, the more fun it is to try.

EXAMPLES

Double comparatives with 'more' and 'less' can be used with adjectives in the same way. In this case, the structure places the comparative adjective first: The + comparative adjective + (noun) + subject + verb, the + comparative adjective + it is + infinitive
