Hi everybody!

Do you remember how to make comparative adjectives????
Here I am to help you remember with these rules and examples:

-er is added to the end of a 1-syllable adjective
  • cold – colder than

  • small – smaller than

  • tall – taller than
  • Winter is usually colder than summer.

  • The green hat is smaller than the yellow one.

more is used for words that have 2 syllables, if the word doesn’t end in -y.

if they end by -y it changes to -i and we add -er

  • honest
  • more honest than
  • modern
  • more modern than
  • easy
  • easier

  • Chinese is more difficult than English.
  • Catalan is easier than German

more is used for words that have 3 or more syllables
  • expensive
  • more expensive than

  • comfortable
  • more comfortable than
adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective
  • nice -nicer than

  • safe -safer than
adjective that end in a consonant, vowel, consonant – the last consonant is doubled
  • big -bigger than

  • fat- fatter than

  • hot -hotter than
  • My house is bigger than my sister’s.
  • Summer in Spain is hotter than winter.

and don’t forget the irregular ones:

good better than
bad worse than

STATIVE VERBS

STATIVE VERBS

Indiquen un estat i no tant una acció en procés i, per això, gairebé sempre s’utilitzen en la forma simple i no en la progressiva.

Están relacionats amb:
Els gustos, les emocions i el sentiments (like, love, prefer, want, dislike, hate, hope)
El pensament i l’opinió (appear, believe, consider, depend, doubt, forget, guess, imagine, know, mean, realise, remember, seem, suposse, think, understand)
La percepció i els sentits (feel, hear, see, smell, sound, taste)
La possessió (belong, have, owe, own, possess)
Els preus i les mesures (cost, weigh, measure)

Alguns indiquen les dues coses, estat i activitat, i poden utilitzar-se en la forma simple i en la progressiva.

Per exemple, think en Present Simple expressa opinió i en Present Continuous activitat mental en procés.
I think he knows the truth.
(crec/opino que ell sap la veritat)
She’s thinking about talking to her teacher.
(Està pensant a parlar amb el seu professor)

I el verb see en Present Continuous fa referència a una acció futura fixada per endavant.
He’s seeing his boss tomorrow.
(Demà veurà el seu cap)
