🚀 Comparing Things

In the text, we see how to compare two different companies. This is a key skill for A2 level.

The Rule: Much + Comparative When one thing is very different from another, we use much before the comparison word.

  • Example: SpaceX is much faster than Amazon.

Comparing Numbers Look at these two ways to describe totals:

  1. More than →\rightarrow "1,589 satellites... this is more than in 2025."
  2. Less →\rightarrow "he has less money now."
