Grammar
Hi teachers, I have a simple question to ask.
Is it OK to use the word less as both adjective and comparative?
If it is, then what would be its comparative form? Would it be lesser?
I've seen a lot of examples on the internet that say 'little' is the adjective 'less' is the comparative form and least is the superlative.

"less", in the sense that I assume you are asking about, is a comparative adjective/determiner. g. "He has less money".
- "less", in the sense that I assume you are asking about, is a comparative adjective/determiner.
- g.
- "He has less money".
- Because it is already a comparative form, it does not itself have a comparative: the concept of "more less" is not valid.
