Look at the title: Im more outgoing than my sister. In the sentence outgoing is an adjective, and more outgoing is its comparative. An adjective is a describing word. When we compare two nouns we use a comparative adjective. An example of this is the use of the endings: -er est.If you look at these sentences, we are using comparative adjectives to describe size: A pony is small. A cat is smaller. A mouse is smallest.1a Looking and matching Look at the picture on page 31 in your book. What can you see in the picture? Thats right, the twins. Look at these two boys. They are Pedro and Paul. They are brothers. Who is taller, Pedro or Paul? Yes, Pedro is taller. Now repeat after me: Pedro is taller. OK, please look at the blackboard and read these sentences: Tina is wilder than Tara.Tara is calmer than Tina.Sam is wilder than Tom.Tom is calmer than Sam.Sam has longer hair than Tom.Tom has shorter hair than Sam.Pedro is heavier than Paul.Paul is thinner than Pedro.Please pay more attention to structure of “er.than.”This structure is used in comparisons. Now look at the words in the box in your book and match each word with the opposite. Please draw lines between the words of the opposite meanings.

Pedro and Paul: 3All right now, you are supposed to read the tapescript on page 87. While reading try to find all the sentences with comparatives with er, ier, more and both. Try to also cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study all the predicates, circle all the linking words and underline all the expressions. Thats grammar study, indeed. Useful expressions from the conversationhave longer hair than , be calmer than , be taller than , be also wilder, be heavier than , be shorter than Read the conversations again to rewrite them as you like. 1c Pairing and speakingNow practice the conversation in the picture.

Listen carefully again and write the er words in the first column and the words that use more in the second column.2b Listening and writingListen to the recording again.
