When you make a comparison, you need to compare two or more things clearly. If you leave something out, the sentence becomes confusing — or sounds unfinished. That’s called an incomplete comparison.
Incomplete: My phone is better.
🧐 Better than what? We don’t know!
Complete: My phone is better than yours.
Make sure you say what your subject is being compared to:
These words need something to compare to. Without it, your sentence feels incomplete or confusing.
💡 If your sentence uses a comparison word (like better, more, faster), ask: “Better than what?”
✅ Always answer the question in your sentence!
