🕒 The 'More Than' Trick

In the text, we see: "He practiced for thirty minutes more than Jabari every day."

When you want to compare two people or things at an A2 level, use this pattern:

[Thing A] + [Amount] + more than + [Thing B]

Examples for you:

  • I drink two glasses more than my brother.
  • She reads five pages more than me.
  • This phone costs 10 dollars more than that one.

Quick Rule: Use this when you are counting things (minutes, dollars, pages, apples) and one person has a higher number → More than.
