Grammar Point: Superlatives

Good morning! 

As I did a couple of post ago, in this one, I am going to explain how to build superlative sentences. 

When you are using a superlative adjective you are expressing its highest quality. 

SUPERLATIVE SENTENCES

THINK if the adjective is short or long. Short adjectives have just a syllable whereas long adjectives have two or more. 

Short adjectives: The + adjective + est

- The lion is the fastest animal. 

Long adjectives: The + most + adjective 

- The most intelligent animal is the dolphin. 

Here I leave you some online activities...

• Task 1
• Task 2

Oral task: Your last trip or journey

Before telling us which was your last trip... answer the questions below, please 😊😊

• Where/When did you go?
• Who did you go with?
• Where did you stay? Was it good?
• What did you do? Did you enjoy it?
• Where did you eat? Did you like the food?
• Was it hot?
• Did you like it more than your town/city? Why? Why not?

Grammar Point: Comparatives

Good morning to everyone and welcome to this new post in which I'm going to explain how to make comparative sentences. 

When we think about Comparative Sentences we have to have clear in our minds that we want to compare between two things, people, places...

COMPARATIVE SENTENCES

THINK: Is the adjective we need to make the comparison short or long?

Short adjectives: 1 syllable

Long adjectives: 2 syllables or more. 

• Short adjectives: Adjective + er + than

For example: The lion is faster than the turttle. 

• Long adjectives: More + adjective + than

For example: Lucy is more intelligent than Diana.
