⚡ The 'Comparing' Trick
In the text, we see a great way to talk about two different things. This is a key skill for A2 English.
The Pattern: [Thing A] is [Adjective] than [Thing B]
Look at this sentence from the story: "the pro game is harder than college football"
How to use it:
- Take a short word (Hard)
- Add -er (Harder)
- Add than
Quick Examples:
- Fast Faster than
- Old Older than
- Small Smaller than
Why this matters: Instead of saying "The pro game is hard. College football is easy," you can combine them into one smart sentence. This makes you sound more natural!
