⚡ Comparing People

In the text, we see how to describe if someone is 'better' or 'worse'. This is how we compare two or more things.

The Pattern:

  • Good \rightarrow Better \rightarrow Best
  • Bad \rightarrow Worse \rightarrow Worst

Real Examples from the Text:

  • "Some sports players are doing better." (They are improving compared to before).
  • "Other players are doing worse." (They are not as good as before).
  • "Brock Bowers and Trey McBride are the best tight ends." (No one is higher than them).

Quick Tip: Use 'better' when you compare 2 people. Use 'the best' when you talk about the top person in a whole group.
