🎯 Lesson Goal
In this lesson, you will learn how to use comparatives with long adjectives. You will practice comparing two things using words with more than two syllables.
🧠 Grammar Focus
We use comparatives to show the difference between two things. For long adjectives (three or more syllables), we use ‘more’ + adjective + ‘than’. We use this to talk about: 1. Comparing people or things. 2. Saying which is bigger, better, or more interesting. The structure is: Subject + verb + more + adjective + than + object. Example: This hotel is more expensive than that one. She is more beautiful than her sister. The weather today is more comfortable than yesterday.
📖 Short Reading
Anna lives in a small city. She thinks living in a big city is more interesting than living in a small city. The big city has more restaurants and more parks. She also feels the weather there is more comfortable in spring. Last year, Anna moved to a bigger apartment because it is more spacious than her old home. Her new neighborhood is more peaceful than before. Anna believes her life is more exciting now because of all these changes.
