B2.1 - Unit 1B: Comparatives and superlatives

We've already seen this grammar point in class, but I want you to do some more exercises to practise so here are there some:
  • Filling the gaps: click here 
  • Using the pronoun one as well: click here
In the class we also saw expressions with double comparative such as The sooner, the better or The more, the merrier. If you need further explanation about this grammar point, go to this link (although it's a bit thick for your level). After checking the grammar, do these exercises to practise a bit more: first click here and then do this one and this other exercise.

Another use for the double comparative is just emphatic like in this sentence: she has more and more friends so she´s happier and happier

Apart from comparing qualities, we may compare quantities. In that case we use:
  • MUCH / LITTLE / LESS / THE LEAST for uncountable (singular) nouns: much sugar, little money, less effort
  • MANY / FEW / FEWER / THE FEWEST for countable (plural) nouns: many people, few books, fewer pens
We may need some practise with less and fewer so here are you some exercises: exercise 1,  exercise 2,  exercise 3, exercise 4, exercise 5; for useing much and many you can go to: exercise 1, exercise 2, exercise 3, exercise 4.
