How to Compare in English | 6 Linking Words with Examples

When you want to compare in English — job offers, mobile phone plans, gym memberships, online courses, or skin care products — linking words can help you highlight the similarities.

Of course, when making comparisons in English, you can use comparative and superlative forms such as

Better
Faster
Cheaper
More support
More beautiful

However, you can also structure elegant sentences to compare in English using linking words. For example:

Likewise
As ... as
As well as
Same as
Similarly

And more. These words simplify how to compare things in English.

Linking words are words or phrases that connect one part of a sentence to another. In other words, they build a bridge from one idea, one sentence, to another.

When you use these bridges in your speech, they create a logical connection. An easy transition. Even better, they improve the flow and clarity of your speech.

In daily life and at work, we compare similarities among choices to help us make better decisions.

In this Confident English lesson today, you’ll learn 6 ways to compare in English using linking words so you can easily make comparisons in English, share with others, and, if necessary, get them to help you make important decisions.
