THAN

We use than when we want to compare one thing with another: (She is two years older than me).

When we want to describe how something or someone changes we can use two comparatives with and (The balloon got bigger and bigger)

AND

We use ‘less’ to say that someone or something has an inferior quality, size or characteristic (Hamburgers are less healthy than vegetables. - N.B. NO -ER after the adjective).
