💡 The 'Comparing Things' Trick

In the text, we see a way to say one thing is more than another. This is key for A2 level.

The Pattern: Better than \rightarrow Larger than

How it works: When we compare two things, we often add -er to the end of the word and use than.

  • Big \rightarrow Bigger than (Example: Royal Birkdale is bigger than other places)
  • Small \rightarrow Smaller than
  • Fast \rightarrow Faster than

🛠️ Action Words for the Future

Look at how the text talks about things that will happen:

  • "will help" \rightarrow This tells us about a result in the future.

To make a future sentence, just put will before the action word:

  • I will go.
  • It will be peaceful.
  • We will visit.
