🟢 The 'Comparing' Secret

Look at this sentence: "He feels better than last week."

When we want to say one thing is 'more' than another, we change the word.

The Pattern: Short Word →\rightarrow Word + er →\rightarrow than

Examples from the world:

  • Fast →\rightarrow Faster than
  • Small →\rightarrow Smaller than
  • Heavy →\rightarrow Heavier than (Like Rory's club!)

🔴 The 'Not' Trick (Negative Actions)

How to say someone did not do something in the past:

Did not + Simple Action Word

  • He did not play well.
  • He did not win.

Crucial Rule: We use the basic action word. We do NOT say "did not played."

Keep it simple: Did not + Action →\rightarrow ✅
