Vocabulary Learning
Comparing Two People
When we talk about two people, we often compare what they can do. Look at these patterns from the text:
1. The "More" Pattern If someone does something a lot, we use more to show the difference.
- Example: "He makes more mistakes than Murray."
- Pattern: Person A + makes + more [thing] + than + Person B.
2. Simple Descriptions (Adjectives) To describe a person's level, we use simple words after "is".
- Murray experienced (He has played for a long time).
- McCarthy new (He just started).
3. Ability Words Notice how we describe a skill:
- "He scores many points."
- "He runs well."
- "He throws the ball."
Quick Tip: To reach A2, stop saying "He is good" and start saying why he is good (e.g., "He runs well").
