⚖️ Comparing Things

In the text, we see how to describe if something is 'more' or 'less' than something else. This is a key skill for A2 learners.

1. More/Less + Adjective When we want to compare two things, we use these simple patterns:

  • More expensive → Costs more money.
  • Less safe → Not as protected.
  • Cheaper → Costs less money (a special short word).

2. The Logic Flow

Old Phone \rightarrow New Phone \rightarrow Difference

  • A26 \rightarrow A27 \rightarrow $50 more
  • S26 Ultra \rightarrow Amazon Price \rightarrow Cheaper

3. Watch out for 'Worse'

If something is not as good as before, we use worse.

Example: "Some parts... are worse than the old phone."
