比

First we've learned  comparative sentence with 比 today.
There are 3 patterns using 比.

1. A + 比 + B + Adj
2. A + 比 + B + Adj + 一点儿/得多/多了
3. A + 比 + B + 更/还 + Adj

Ex.

我比我的女朋友高。

I am taller than my girlfriend.

今天比昨天热多了。

Today is much hotter than yesterday.

今天热，明天比今天更热。 

Today was hot. Tomorrow is even hotter than yesterday.

了

When 了 occurs at the ends of a sentence, it usually indicates a change of status or the realization of the new situation.

Ex.

下雪了。

It is snowing now.

我的女朋友不生气了。

My girlfriend is not angry anymore.

会

会 indicates an anticipated event or action. It is modal verb.

Ex.

Adj + 一点儿

The expression (一)点儿 can be placed after an adjective to indicate slight qualification.

Ex.

冷点儿

a bit cold

快点儿

a bit quick

高一点儿

a bit tall

一点儿 does not precede the adjective. The following phrases are incorrect.

Ex.

一点儿冷

一点儿慢

In the class we also learned 好一点儿。

好 < 好一点儿 < 更好 < 最好

Good < little bit better < better < best

好一点儿 goes between 好 and 更好。

不但，，，而且，，，

Not only,,,but also,,,

My girlfriend not only able to speak English but also be able to speak Chinese.
