The 'Comparing' Secret
To move to A2, you need to describe things. Look at these words from the story:
- Fast Fastest (The number one speed)
- Good Best (The top quality)
How it works: When we compare one person to everyone else in a group, we often add -est to the end of the word.
Examples from the text:
- Tim Merlier was the fastest rider. (He beat everyone else).
- Tadej Pogačar is the best rider. (No one is better).
Quick Tip: Using 'Is' and 'Was'
Notice how the story switches time:
- "The weather was hot" Talking about the past (yesterday).
- "Pogačar is the leader" Talking about right now.
