The average of the scores in the Experimental group was meaningfully higher then the control group (p<0.00( . The average of scores in the EG was 16.83+ 1.78 and in the CG 14.03+ 2.65. Thus non-mechanical instruction of comparative adjectives to the Iranian high school grade1 students’ comparative adjective knowledge is more effective than mechanical instruction.
