A1.2 UNIT 10 WHO IS BETTER?
WHO IS BETTER? Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favorite teams, America de cali and Atletico Nacional. It was the second week of the season and the day was much colder than the week before. We arrived at the stadium at 5:30 pm, which is a little earlier than usual. We were excited because I love America de Cali and he loves the Atletico Nacional. The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the field. However, we sat and enjoyed the game. Well, we enjoyed it until we started arguing. My brother and I both think our team is better than the other team. He always says to me that Nacional are faster, stronger, and smarter than America. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. America played a lot better than Nacional. They played better. They won by 3 goals. One thing I didnt like was that the food and drinks were much more expensive than other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hot dog cost $4, which is more expensive than the $3 I pay outside the stadium. Also, the hot dog was smaller than normal hot dogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, but I planned to get something tastier after the game.
COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES. Short adjectives: er short-shorter, fast-faster, tall-taller r Late-later, nice-nicer, strange- stranger Double consonant: fat-fatter, hot- hotter, big- bigger y happy- happier, crazy-crazier, easy- easier Examples: I am shorter than my brother is. I think Messi is nicer than Neymar. Russia is bigger than Brazil. Colombian people are happier than American people are.
ADJECTIVES Long adjectives: two or more syllables more famous, more beautiful. Example: Scarlet Johansson is more beautiful than miss universe. My neighbor is more handsome than Leonardo Di Caprio Irregular adjectives: Good better I have a better idea. Bad worse Junk food is worse than sodas. Far - farther I live farther than you. Adjectives we can use more and er Clever cleverer more clever Narrow narrower more narrow Simple simpler more simple
USE OF LESS AND FEWER Fewer is used for countable objects, that is anything that can be counted one by one. There was less rain today than yesterday. There were fewer stray cats last year. Less is used for uncountable concepts such as time and money, even though they may involve numbers. In these cases we only use fewer when we refer to a specific unit. I had less free time to complete my homework than Jim. The small elephant costs less than the big one. Sally spent fewer hours on the computer after she broke the keyboard. We have fewer pound coins than pennies
