<p>Which is the right form? I can't figure it out, its driving me crazy!</p>
<p>An increasingly large number
or
An increasingly largeR number</p>
<p>help?</p>
<p>I feel like it should be the first option but I'm not sure</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>‘’ The number of homeless kids is becoming increasingly larger ‘’</p>
<p>larger because it is comparing it to something before…so when you have two things, it’s larger.</p>
<p>that’s just what i think…</p>
<p>As with many grammatical issues, it depends on the context. Are you comparing two different things? Then “increasingly larger” may be correct. Are you comparing one thing at different times? Then “increasingly large” may be correct, if the initial data point were originally large.</p>
<p>The question cannot be answered without the rest of the sentence.</p>
