CLASSROOM LANGUAGE

COMPARATIVES

REMEMBER:
There are two ways for doing the comparatives: 1-2 syllables or adjectives with 3 or more syllables.
In class we have only worked the comparitives with one or two syllables.

• Short adjectives (one syllable):

young----younger than
old-------older than
long-----longer than
small----smaller than
new-----newer than
short----shorter than
tall------taller than
fast-----faster than

• Ending in consonant + vowel + consonant:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE THE LAST CONSONANT

big----bigger than
hot----hotter than
fat----fatter than

• Two syllables adjectives ending in -y:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE -Y FOR -I

ugly-------uglier than
noisy-----noisier than
friendly-friendlier than
happy----happier than
funny----happier than

BIG NUMBERS

English people don't normally write numbers with words, but it's possible to do this--and of course this will show how we say the numbers. In writing large numbers, American English uses a comma ( , ) to separate thousands, millions, etc. American English also uses a hyphen ( - ) to separate "tens" words (twenty, fifty, etc.) and "ones" words (one, three, six, etc.) Examples: Group 1 written said 1,011 one thousand eleven 21,011 twenty-one thousand eleven 721,011 seven hundred AND twenty-one thousand eleven Group 2 written said 1,256,721 one million two hundred AND fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one 31,256,721 thirty-one million two hundred AND  fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one 631,256,721 six hundred AND thirty-one million two hundred AND fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one Group 3 written said 1,492,638,526 one billion four hundred AND ninety-two million six hundred AND  thirty-eight thousand five hundred AND twenty-six

INTERACTIVE GRAMMAR LESSON:

   

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

With the present simple, we often use adverbs of frequency to explain the frequency in which we do something.
There are a lot of frequency adverbs but we in this term we will only study five or six of them.

We ALWAYS put these adverbs before the verb.

I usually drink coke.
She sometimes palys with me in the park.
We usually play the piano.

EXCEPT WHEN:

We work with TO BE  when we put the adverb of frequency after the to be verb.

She is sometimes late.
They are always doing their homeworks in the library.
