🏁 The Power of 'FAST' vs 'FASTER'

In this story, we see how to compare things simply. This is a key skill for A2 learners.

The Basic Idea When we want to say something has more of a quality than something else, we often add -er to the end of the word.

  • Fast (Normal speed) \rightarrow Faster (More speed than someone else)

From the Text:

"Ferrari cars are faster now."

This means Ferrari is not just fast; they are more fast than the other cars (like Red Bull).

Look at how the story changes from what happened to what is true now.

Quick Tip: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of a word to move it into the past (e.g., crash \rightarrow crashed). This helps you tell a story about yesterday or a race that already finished.
