⚡ The Power of 'Better Than'

In the text, we see a very useful way to compare two things: [Thing A] + is/used + [Adjective-er] + than + [Thing B]

From the story:

  • Tires \rightarrow better than \rightarrow Mercedes
  • Car \rightarrow faster \rightarrow Mercedes

How to use it for A2: When you want to say one thing is "more" than another, just add -er to the short word and use than.

  • Fast \rightarrow Faster than
  • Strong \rightarrow Stronger than
  • Small \rightarrow Smaller than

Quick Examples:
