Question

Select the word(s) that correctly completes the sentence provided.

I sleep-in __________ than my sister.

Answer

In this sentence, we are comparing two things. How I sleep in compared to how my sister sleeps in. When we are comparing two things, we use a comparative adjective and add "er" to the end of a word. When more than two things are being compared, we use a superlative adjective and add "est" to the end of a word.

If the adjective is more than one syllable, we would add "more" or "most" before the adjective. In this case, "late" is a one syllable adjective, so "more" or "most" should not be added to the sentence.

The correct answer is "later".

I sleep-in later than my sister.
