🏁 The Power of 'TOO'

In this story, we see a pattern using the word too. We use this when something is more than we want or more than is good.

Look at these examples from the race:

  • "Safety flags were too slow" \rightarrow (Not fast enough!)
  • "Car is too heavy" \rightarrow (Needs to be lighter!)

How to build your own sentences: Subject + is/are + too + Adjective

Try this logic:

  • If the coffee is 100°C \rightarrow It is too hot.
  • If a shirt is size Small but you are Large \rightarrow It is too small.

🏎️ Comparing People

When we talk about two people, we often add -er to the end of a word to show who has more of a quality.

  • Fast \rightarrow Fastest (The #1 person)
  • Mature \rightarrow More mature (We use 'more' for longer words)

Quick Rule: Short word \rightarrow add -er (Fast \rightarrow Faster) Long word \rightarrow use more (Mature \rightarrow More mature)
