In this presentation, you will learn the following structures related to comparatives and superlatives.
00:00:03
Emphasizing Comparatives and Superlatives
00:00:09
Double Comparatives, er and er
00:00:11
The Plus Comparative, the Plus Comparative
00:00:14
Shall we start?
00:00:17
Let's start emphasizing comparative forms.
00:00:26
Did you know that you can intensify comparatives by adding some expressions?
00:00:29
Look at the examples.
00:00:33
This tofu tastes far better than I expected.
00:00:35
Dark chocolate is way bitter than white one.
00:00:38
Our dog eats much quickier than yours.
00:00:41
By adding intensifiers such as much, way, informal, far, a lot, before a comparative, you can make it stronger.
00:00:43
You can also use slightly, a bit, not much, almost, to intensify small differences in adjectives or adverbs.
00:00:50
Look at the examples.
00:01:02
Flaxseed is much more difficult to find than mushrooms.
00:01:04
Her cooking style is almost as engaging as Gordon Ramsay's.
00:01:07
Tom doesn't study much productively when he's tired.
00:01:11
Some people say that our brain consumes sugar slightly faster than salt.
00:01:14
Similarly to the way we emphasize comparative adjectives and adverbs,
00:01:24
we can use the following intensifiers in superlative structures.
00:01:28
By far, easily, etc.
00:01:31
Cod is by far the most delicious fish in this restaurant.
00:01:34
Almond yogurt is easily the healthiest option, if you ask me.
00:01:37
Sarah cooks easily the most effortlessly in the cooking academy.
00:01:41
When you use two comparatives, the same ones, linked with and to express an increasing or gradual quality or action, you are using double comparatives.
00:01:44
Let's see the examples.
00:01:57
Seafood is becoming more and more expensive these days.
00:01:59
Avocados are being produced faster and faster in the south of Spain.
00:02:03
Teenagers are eating healthier and healthier in the last few years.
00:02:07
Finally, sometimes we need to compare two things or actions showing a change or a cause
00:02:15
and affect relationship between them.
00:02:20
Compare.
00:02:23
The redder a food is, the higher its amount of vitamin A.
00:02:24
The riper a fig is, the sweetest it tastes.
00:02:27
The healthier you eat, the better you'll perform in exams.
00:02:31
We do that by writing the followed by a comparative form
00:02:34
and then by repeating the same structure again,
00:02:37
although you can use a different adjective or adverb.
00:02:40
Now you are ready to put all this content into practice.
00:02:46
And remember, the more you practice, the better you become.
