⚡ Comparing Things

In the text, we see how to say one thing is 'more' or 'less' than another. This is key for A2 English.

The Pattern:

  • Cheaper (Less money) → "It is cheaper than the Dyson tool"
  • Harder (More difficult) → "it is harder to use"

How it works: Take a short word and add -er to the end. Then use the word than to connect the two things.

Word + er →\rightarrow than →\rightarrow Other thing

Examples from the text:

  • Shark tool →\rightarrow cheaper →\rightarrow Dyson tool.
  • Shark tool →\rightarrow harder →\rightarrow (other tools).
