⚡️ Comparison Basics

In this text, we see how to say one thing is 'more' than another. This is key for A2 English.

The Pattern: Adjective + er + than $\rightarrow$ Better than

Examples from the text:

"Some players are better than others."

How to use it: If you want to compare two things, just add -er to the short word.

Fast $\rightarrow$ Faster
Small $\rightarrow$ Smaller

Wait! What about 'Better'? Some words are weird. You cannot say 'Gooder'. You must change 'Good' to 'Better'.

Quick Logic: Good $\rightarrow$ Better $\rightarrow$ The Best

Example: Nasim Nuñez is the best at stealing bases.
