Describing & Comparing

Week 20^th – 22^nd

Hi new classmates! We were looking forward to meeting you!

This week we reviewed descriptions.

You told me what people in your family look like, what they are like and also what they like doing.

·            Jorge´s nephew and niece like playing.

·            Sue’s sister is medium height and slim. She’s got long curly black hair and blue eyes. She’s got a tan complexion.(look like)

·            Their parents are generous, talkative, sociable and outgoing.(to be like)

We played “Who is it?”

And we compared cities and places.

Navarra is more expensive than Madrid.

Madrid is safer than Burgos.

Madrid is noisier than Cáceres.

Cáceres is quieter than Madrid.

Madrid is the noisiest.

Burgos is the most dangerous. (just joking!, kidding!, it isn’t seriously)

Remember:

		ADJECTIVE	COMPARATIVE	SUPERLATIVE
1-Syllable		hot long	hotter longer	the hottest  the longest
2 -syllable ended in “y”		dirty	dirtier	the dirtiest
	REST OF ADJECTIVES

And the same rule applies to adverbs.
