💡 Focus: Comparing People

In this story, we see how to describe who is 'the best' or 'the fastest'. To reach A2, you need to describe things by comparing them.

1. The 'Super' Form (Superlatives) When one person is the top of everything, we use: The + [word] + est.

  • The fastest →\rightarrow Paul Seixas

2. Using 'Too' for Problems We use too before a word to say something is a problem.

  • Too young →\rightarrow Not old enough to win.
  • Too tired →\rightarrow No more energy to pedal.

3. Time Words Notice how we use since to show when something started in the past and continues now:
