There are three types of adjectives: short (big,heavy), long (polite, dangerous) and irregular (good, bad). To form the comparative of short adjectives, add -er. Examples: big→bigger. heavy→heavier. Use the C.V.C.(consonant vowel consonant) principle to make the comparative forms for short adjectives: Examples: big→bigger > CVCCer. heavy→heavier > change y to i. To form the comparative of long adjectives, add more: Examples: polite→more polite...). Irregular adjectives change completely! Examples: good→better bad→worse. Remember! to compare two elements, we use the comparative form of the adjective and the conjunction than. Example: Alex is taller than Felix. COMPARATIVE
SUPERLATIVE>We use the superlative to compare three or more people things.To form the superlative of short adjectives, add -est, Use the CVC principle. Example: small→ the smallest...). To form the superlative of long adjectives, add the most + adjective. Example: ferocious→ the most ferocious...). Irregular adjectives change completely. Example: good> the best, bad>the worse. MODAL VERBS> should, can and could are modal verbs. a) To ask for and give advice, use should: Example: what should I do with my old clothes?
b) To ask for, give and refuse permission, use can or could: Example: can/could I go out tonight, dad?
Notice that could is more polite than can when asking for permission, but we ussually use can when giving or refusing permission. Afirmative> we should try harder! you can stay out late. Negative>you shouldn't wait until the last minute. Interrogative>should we clean up this mess?. ·Remember! should, can and could do not change in the third person singular. he should clean up the mess.QUANTITIFIERS>there are a few eggs, there are a lot of eggs, there are too many eggs, there are not enough eggs...how many eggs are there?
there is a little milk, there is too much milk...how much milk is there? Use can('t) and could(n't) to express ability and ask for, give and refuse permission.
WILL>will is an auxiliary verb. it is used to form the future simple tense. we use the future simple to make predictions: Example: it'll be sunny tomorrow. We use the future simple to express decisions made at the moment of speaking: Example: i'll help you carry that bag. Afirmative: will do, will be. Negative> will no(won't)
GOING TO AND PRESENT CONTINUOUS>a)The present continuous: to express definite arrangements.b) going to: to express future plans...........time expressions>next week, month, year, tomorrow...this weekend...
