🧩 The 'Comparing' Trick
In this text, we see how to talk about things that are bigger or more than before. This is key for A2 English.
1. Adding 'More' When we have a lot of something, we use More + noun.
- More teams (Not just 32, but more!)
- More people (Lots of users)
- More comments (A high number of posts)
2. The 'Much More' Boost If the difference is very big, we add Much.
This is much more than the last World Cup.
Quick Pattern Guide: Small difference → More Big difference → Much more
3. Word Swap: 'Mean' and 'Bad' Both words describe something negative here. You can use them almost the same way:
- Bad posts Mean posts
- Bad comments Mean comments
Real-world use: "I have more homework today than yesterday. Actually, I have much more!"
