the + comparative adjective
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:47 pm
Good evening, Alan
Could you please tell me when it is possible to use the definite article "the" with the comparative and not the superlative ? Like "the closer" instead of "the closest" ?
I'm not referring to the parallel structures like "the sooner, the better".
Would you please give me examples ?
Thank you in advance.
