⚡ The 'Easy' vs 'Hard' Switch

In English, we use opposites to describe situations. This helps you give a clear opinion quickly.

The Pattern:

  • Hard \rightarrow Difficult / Not easy
  • Easy \rightarrow Simple / Not hard

How it works in the text:

  • "Some weeks are hard."
  • "Weeks 5, 9, and 14 are easier."

A2 Tip: Adding '-er' When we compare two things, we add -er to the end of the word.

EasyextEasier\text{Easy} \rightarrow ext{Easier} (More easy than before) HardextHarder\text{Hard} \rightarrow ext{Harder} (More difficult than before)

Quick Examples for Daily Life:

  • This book is hard. \rightarrow That book is harder.
  • English is easy. \rightarrow Spanish is easier.
