🍰 Comparing Things

When we want to say one thing is 'more' than another, we change the word. Look at how the text compares the shops:

1. The 'Short Word' Rule (est) If a word is short, we add -est to show the top level.

  • Cheap \rightarrow Cheapest (Baskin-Robbins)
  • Best \rightarrow (The Original Glazed doughnut)

2. The 'More/Most' Rule For longer ideas or specific amounts, we use different words:

  • Fewer: Use this for things you can count.
    • Example: "Dairy Queen has fewer choices."
  • The most: Use this for the highest amount of money or quality.
    • Example: "Cold Stone cakes cost the most money."
