00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,280
Hello guys, I hope everyone is alright and your families too. I'm alright and my

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:13,720
family as well and this video, I'm recording this video to try to help you

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:22,199
learning the grammar from unit 5 which is related to superlatives but at the

4
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:29,600
beginning of the unit you should have practiced in the exercises from the

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:38,039
week before Easter. These are the comparatives. So I'm going to quickly

6
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:44,479
review them. You should have learned them last year in fifth grade,

7
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:52,259
but we are going to review it really fast. So I've got here... I've written like a

8
00:00:52,259 --> 00:01:01,920
a poster, yes? So, anyway, we've got when we compare we have to compare two

9
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:11,640
elements A and B. They can be clothes, animals, people, two objects, anything, yes?

10
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:19,519
It's very important to use than, sorry, and remember we are going to keep in our

11
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:28,519
minds that when we are talking about comparatives we have to remember the ER

12
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:39,340
here or more plus adjective. So I've got here four sentences I've just created. So

13
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:46,280
the first one. My house is bigger than yours. Remember than yours means your

14
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:55,599
house, yes? It's something related to possession. The second one. Cuenca is more beautiful than

15
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:01,780
Albacete. The third one. Leopards are faster than turtles. And the fourth and last one. Spaghetti

16
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:11,099
are thinner, remember? Thinner, thick. Well, thin, thick, yes? Are thinner than noodles. And here I've

17
00:02:11,099 --> 00:02:20,939
got two words the the oh sorry the er side and the more plus adjective side so what can we see

18
00:02:20,939 --> 00:02:29,560
in these four sentences is that when we are talking about one element in singular like my

19
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:40,180
house and cuenca we use is after the subject yes and then the adjective the

20
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:49,240
comparative adjective so bigger or more beautiful then than and then the rest of

21
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:55,120
the part of this sentence which is the element be in this case your house or

22
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,080
Albacete. When we are talking about plural, two or more things, we use

23
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:10,340
r, yes, the subject, the element a, leopards or spaghettis. Look, there is an s at the

24
00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:18,939
end, here, yes, rr, then the adjective, faster or thinner, then than, which is

25
00:03:18,939 --> 00:03:25,780
very important, and the element b, turtles and noodles. So, when do we need to use

26
00:03:25,780 --> 00:03:36,599
er and when do we need to use more plus adjectives? er, oh sorry, er, like bigger,

27
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:44,060
faster, thinner, er at the end of the adjective, we are going to add

28
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:56,379
add it to the adjectives which have one or two syllables, two maximum, yes? And

29
00:03:56,379 --> 00:04:04,479
when they've got more syllables we have to use more and the adjective, the

30
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:11,580
normal one, like here, more plus beautiful, yes? What happens here, why do we need to

31
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:22,699
write double D and double N? Well, remember I told you once that when the word ends in consonant,

32
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:31,420
so wait, consonant, the number, the normal adjective, yes, big, so consonant, vowel,

33
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:41,420
consonant, ending from the ending, we have, and it's stressed, that syllable, you have to double

34
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:49,019
the last consonant, yes? Like bigger and thinner. Then, we are going to go through superlatives,

35
00:04:49,019 --> 00:04:57,259
we are going to keep going, and superlatives. When we talk about superlatives, we don't need to

36
00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:06,139
like that, we don't need to compare, we are just talking about one element, yeah? Specific one,

37
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:13,980
just one. And it's going to be just one sentence about it. We don't need to write

38
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:23,740
than and you need to keep in your mind est or most plus adjective at the end of the sentence.

39
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:32,459
Then, as in the comparatives, when it's one element, just singular, you have to reduce

40
00:05:32,459 --> 00:05:40,459
is the. The is very important. In the comparatives we used than, in the superlatives we have to

41
00:05:40,459 --> 00:05:49,980
use the. So is or are, depending if it's singular or plural. Plural is are. Then the and whatever,

42
00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:58,139
the rest of the sentence, yes? I've got here four examples. I don't know if you can see them

43
00:05:58,139 --> 00:06:05,759
properly let me see like that yeah the first one vanilla milkshake is the best one yes vanilla

44
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:14,639
milkshake uh this is a subject yes vanilla milkshake is because it's just one is singular

45
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:24,680
and then the rest the best one then lasagna is a taste tastiest dish the adjective from

46
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:36,220
from here is tasty yes sabroso then the third one whales are the biggest animals in the world

47
00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:43,699
and the last one burqa khalifa and sungai's tower are the highest buildings in the world

48
00:06:43,699 --> 00:06:52,379
so what can we uh what can we see in here we're just talking about one element vanilla milkshake

49
00:06:52,379 --> 00:07:00,220
lasagna, whales, Burj Khalifa, and sangais. Yes? Well, in here, there are two, but it's just one

50
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:10,259
subject. Yeah? Both belong to the subject. And then, as it's singular, the first two sentences

51
00:07:10,259 --> 00:07:18,540
are singular. We use is in both. And then the third and the fourth are plural. So, we used to

52
00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:28,279
have we used to use sorry are yes are and here are and then it's mandatory to use the is the

53
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:36,839
sorry is the or are the very good when do we used to distinguish between est at the end of the

54
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:45,639
adjective or most plus a the normal adjective um it happens the same as with the comparatives

55
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:53,660
with just one or two syllables maximum and with more than two yes so for example for example

56
00:07:53,660 --> 00:08:08,500
a tastiest has just two and why do we have to change the i well sorry the y into the i

57
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:19,620
When the adjective ends in Y, we have to change it and turn it into I, sorry, I, and then add

58
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:27,060
EST at the end. Happens the same as biggest. You see, it happens the same as with the

59
00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:37,679
comparative. So we have to double the G and then add EST. And then highest, the adjective is high,

60
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:49,200
until here, until the H, and then we add EST, okay? All right, but sometimes there

61
00:08:49,200 --> 00:09:00,960
are few adjectives that are irregular, okay? What are these adjectives? So, are

62
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:09,500
are good or well, but, little, many or much, depending if it's countable or uncountable,

63
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:16,240
countable, like we can't count them, or uncountable, no, for example, milk or a drink

64
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:28,080
or flour, and far, like far away, yes? Okay, so I've done this chart for you to have it in your

65
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:39,000
in your mind. So, these are the adjectives, these are the comparatives, and these are

66
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,879
the superlatives. And you have to remember them all because they are irregular, they are not

67
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:57,679
regular. So, good, the comparative, better, and the superlative, the best, but worse, the worst,

68
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:13,259
Well, it's the same as good, better, the best, little, less, the least, many or much, more and the most, and far is farther and the farthest.

69
00:10:13,259 --> 00:10:18,120
We change the A into an U, okay?

70
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:22,360
But in the USA, this is the British English, yeah?

71
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:32,120
And the American one, they change, they just, instead of changing the U, they just keep the A, and that's it, and it's the same, yes?

72
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:43,059
Alright, so, how do we do the, how do we do the structure from the superlatives?

73
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:55,639
So, we've got the subject, yes, subject, vanilla milkshake, lasagna, whales or burqa leaf and

74
00:10:55,639 --> 00:11:08,779
and I sour then we add the verb to be if it's singular is if it's plural are like

75
00:11:08,779 --> 00:11:23,419
that yes then very important thing that it's mandatory remember okay and then

76
00:11:23,419 --> 00:11:31,580
the rest of the sentence with the adjective if it's if it's just ha at the

77
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:39,620
end of the sorry if the adjective just has the one or two syllables we add EST

78
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:51,120
or if it has more syllables so most sorry I've written more most and the

79
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:59,860
normal adjective and then if you want to add anything else so we've got the

80
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:06,659
subject is or are depending on if it's singular or plural then the which is

81
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:13,120
mandatory then adjective depending on if it has just one or two syllables or more

82
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:20,220
than two and the complement in the world in Spain in Madrid in my school whatever

83
00:12:20,220 --> 00:12:28,220
Yes? Okay, I hope everyone has understood everything, but in case you have any doubt,

84
00:12:28,899 --> 00:12:37,639
please write them down and let me know what they are so I can solve them as soon as I can.

85
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:47,000
And then I will record another video because in each unit there are two parts, two grammar parts.

86
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:54,620
so the first one is related to superlatives and the second one is going to be about must

87
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:59,899
and mustn't i will see you in the next video bye bye thank you guys
