Hi Soup,
"Not modifies verb phrases". This is too difficult for me.
Ex: ...
is not less
than ...
Could you please kindly explain if I add a verb in the above Ex:.....is not less than....how and where can I add the verb?
The following is from the website:
He paid
not less than 500 dollars (He paid at least 500 dollars).
He is no
less smart
than you. = He is
not less smart
than you.
Is this explanation correct? If it is then in my sentence both "A" and "C"
are correct. Is that right?
John is __________hardworking than his sister, but he failed in the exam. A. no less B. no more C. not less D. no so
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
