The 'Age' Pattern
In this text, we see a simple way to describe people and things using Comparative Numbers.
- The Rule: [Person/Thing] + [Number] + [Comparative Adjective] + [Noun]
Examples from the text: → Six years younger → 13 years younger
How to use this for A2: Instead of just saying "I am old," you can be specific about the difference:
- "I am two years older than my brother."
- "This phone is one year newer than that one."
