🏎️ The 'Comparing' Secret

To reach A2, you need to describe who is better or faster. Look at this pattern from the text:

George Russell is faster than other drivers.

Here is how we build this: Person A + is + Adjective-ER + than + Person B

Examples for you:

  • Fast → Faster (He is faster than Lewis)
  • Hot → Hotter (The tires are hotter than before)
  • Small → Smaller (The part is smaller than the old one)

🏁 Who did what? (The Past)

Notice how the story changes from now to before.

Now (Present):

  • "There is a problem"
  • "Teams are unhappy"

Before (Past):

  • "George Russell won"
  • "The FIA made a mistake"

Quick Tip: When talking about a race that is finished, use Won (not win) and Made (not make).

Win \rightarrow Won Make \rightarrow Made
