Main Body

Caitlin Clark helps the WNBA make a lot of money. More people go to her games. One game had 16,000 people. Other games have fewer people. Some team bosses like other players more.

Comparing Things

In this text, we see how to talk about who is 'more' or 'better'.

The 'More' Pattern When we want to say something has a larger amount, we use More + [Noun].

  • More people → A bigger crowd.
  • More points → A higher score.
  • More money → A larger amount of cash.

The 'Better' Pattern When we compare two people and one is higher quality, we use Better.

  • Bueckers is better at defense → She does defense more successfully than Clark.

Opposite Thinking If 'more' is the top, 'fewer' is for smaller numbers.

  • Other games have fewer people → Not as many people as the 16,000 game.
