Vocabulary Learning
⚡ Comparing Things
To reach A2, you need to describe why one thing is 'more' than another. Look at these patterns from the text:
The 'ER' Rule When a word is short, we add -er to compare two things.
- Fast Faster
- Example: "LineShine is faster than El Capitan."
The 'Better' Rule Some words change completely. We don't say 'gooder'. We say better.
- Good Better
- Example: "China is better at making robots."
The 'Not As' Rule Use this when something is less than something else.
- Not as [word] as
- Example: "It is not as good for AI."
