⚡️ The Power of 'More'

In the story, we see: "He lost more games than the Queensland coach."

When you want to compare two things and one has a higher number, use More + [Word] + Than.

  • More games → (10 games vs 2 games)
  • More water → (2 liters vs 1 liter)
  • More time → (1 hour vs 30 minutes)

Quick Switch: If you want to say the opposite (a lower number), use Less.

  • Daley won more games? → No.
  • Daley won less games? → Yes.

Real-world use:

  • I have more books than you.
  • NSW needs more points to win.
