In this text, we see how to describe things as "more" or "most." This is how you move from A1 to A2 English.

1. Adding 'More' (Comparing two things)

  • More valuable β†’\rightarrow Better than before.
  • More money β†’\rightarrow A larger amount of cash.

2. Using 'The Most' (The top one)

  • The most popular β†’\rightarrow Number 1. Everyone likes it.

3. The 'Opposites' found in the text:

  • Cheap ↔\leftrightarrow Expensive
  • Low ↔\leftrightarrow High (Up)

Quick Tip: Use 'more' when you see a long word (like valuable). Don't say "valuable-er!"
