Hello guys, I hope everyone is alright and your families too. I'm alright and my 00:00:00
family as well and this video, I'm recording this video to try to help you 00:00:07
learning the grammar from unit 5 which is related to superlatives but at the 00:00:13
beginning of the unit you should have practiced in the exercises from the 00:00:22
week before Easter. These are the comparatives. So I'm going to quickly 00:00:29
review them. You should have learned them last year in fifth grade, 00:00:38
but we are going to review it really fast. So I've got here... I've written like a 00:00:44
a poster, yes? So, anyway, we've got when we compare we have to compare two 00:00:52
elements A and B. They can be clothes, animals, people, two objects, anything, yes? 00:01:01
It's very important to use than, sorry, and remember we are going to keep in our 00:01:11
minds that when we are talking about comparatives we have to remember the ER 00:01:19
here or more plus adjective. So I've got here four sentences I've just created. So 00:01:28
the first one. My house is bigger than yours. Remember than yours means your 00:01:39
house, yes? It's something related to possession. The second one. Cuenca is more beautiful than 00:01:46
Albacete. The third one. Leopards are faster than turtles. And the fourth and last one. Spaghetti 00:01:55
are thinner, remember? Thinner, thick. Well, thin, thick, yes? Are thinner than noodles. And here I've 00:02:01
got two words the the oh sorry the er side and the more plus adjective side so what can we see 00:02:11
in these four sentences is that when we are talking about one element in singular like my 00:02:20
house and cuenca we use is after the subject yes and then the adjective the 00:02:29
comparative adjective so bigger or more beautiful then than and then the rest of 00:02:40
the part of this sentence which is the element be in this case your house or 00:02:49
Albacete. When we are talking about plural, two or more things, we use 00:02:55
r, yes, the subject, the element a, leopards or spaghettis. Look, there is an s at the 00:03:02
end, here, yes, rr, then the adjective, faster or thinner, then than, which is 00:03:10
very important, and the element b, turtles and noodles. So, when do we need to use 00:03:18
er and when do we need to use more plus adjectives? er, oh sorry, er, like bigger, 00:03:25
faster, thinner, er at the end of the adjective, we are going to add 00:03:36
add it to the adjectives which have one or two syllables, two maximum, yes? And 00:03:44
when they've got more syllables we have to use more and the adjective, the 00:03:56
normal one, like here, more plus beautiful, yes? What happens here, why do we need to 00:04:04
write double D and double N? Well, remember I told you once that when the word ends in consonant, 00:04:11
so wait, consonant, the number, the normal adjective, yes, big, so consonant, vowel, 00:04:24
consonant, ending from the ending, we have, and it's stressed, that syllable, you have to double 00:04:31
the last consonant, yes? Like bigger and thinner. Then, we are going to go through superlatives, 00:04:41
we are going to keep going, and superlatives. When we talk about superlatives, we don't need to 00:04:49
like that, we don't need to compare, we are just talking about one element, yeah? Specific one, 00:04:59
just one. And it's going to be just one sentence about it. We don't need to write 00:05:06
than and you need to keep in your mind est or most plus adjective at the end of the sentence. 00:05:13
Then, as in the comparatives, when it's one element, just singular, you have to reduce 00:05:23
is the. The is very important. In the comparatives we used than, in the superlatives we have to 00:05:32
use the. So is or are, depending if it's singular or plural. Plural is are. Then the and whatever, 00:05:40
the rest of the sentence, yes? I've got here four examples. I don't know if you can see them 00:05:49
properly let me see like that yeah the first one vanilla milkshake is the best one yes vanilla 00:05:58
milkshake uh this is a subject yes vanilla milkshake is because it's just one is singular 00:06:05
and then the rest the best one then lasagna is a taste tastiest dish the adjective from 00:06:14
from here is tasty yes sabroso then the third one whales are the biggest animals in the world 00:06:24
and the last one burqa khalifa and sungai's tower are the highest buildings in the world 00:06:36
so what can we uh what can we see in here we're just talking about one element vanilla milkshake 00:06:43
lasagna, whales, Burj Khalifa, and sangais. Yes? Well, in here, there are two, but it's just one 00:06:52
subject. Yeah? Both belong to the subject. And then, as it's singular, the first two sentences 00:07:00
are singular. We use is in both. And then the third and the fourth are plural. So, we used to 00:07:10
have we used to use sorry are yes are and here are and then it's mandatory to use the is the 00:07:18
sorry is the or are the very good when do we used to distinguish between est at the end of the 00:07:28
adjective or most plus a the normal adjective um it happens the same as with the comparatives 00:07:36
with just one or two syllables maximum and with more than two yes so for example for example 00:07:45
a tastiest has just two and why do we have to change the i well sorry the y into the i 00:07:53
When the adjective ends in Y, we have to change it and turn it into I, sorry, I, and then add 00:08:09
EST at the end. Happens the same as biggest. You see, it happens the same as with the 00:08:19
comparative. So we have to double the G and then add EST. And then highest, the adjective is high, 00:08:27
until here, until the H, and then we add EST, okay? All right, but sometimes there 00:08:37
are few adjectives that are irregular, okay? What are these adjectives? So, are 00:08:49
are good or well, but, little, many or much, depending if it's countable or uncountable, 00:09:00
countable, like we can't count them, or uncountable, no, for example, milk or a drink 00:09:09
or flour, and far, like far away, yes? Okay, so I've done this chart for you to have it in your 00:09:16
in your mind. So, these are the adjectives, these are the comparatives, and these are 00:09:28
the superlatives. And you have to remember them all because they are irregular, they are not 00:09:39
regular. So, good, the comparative, better, and the superlative, the best, but worse, the worst, 00:09:46
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. 00:09:58
We change the A into an U, okay? 00:10:13
But in the USA, this is the British English, yeah? 00:10:18
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? 00:10:22
Alright, so, how do we do the, how do we do the structure from the superlatives? 00:10:33
So, we've got the subject, yes, subject, vanilla milkshake, lasagna, whales or burqa leaf and 00:10:43
and I sour then we add the verb to be if it's singular is if it's plural are like 00:10:55
that yes then very important thing that it's mandatory remember okay and then 00:11:08
the rest of the sentence with the adjective if it's if it's just ha at the 00:11:23
end of the sorry if the adjective just has the one or two syllables we add EST 00:11:31
or if it has more syllables so most sorry I've written more most and the 00:11:39
normal adjective and then if you want to add anything else so we've got the 00:11:51
subject is or are depending on if it's singular or plural then the which is 00:11:59
mandatory then adjective depending on if it has just one or two syllables or more 00:12:06
than two and the complement in the world in Spain in Madrid in my school whatever 00:12:13
Yes? Okay, I hope everyone has understood everything, but in case you have any doubt, 00:12:20
please write them down and let me know what they are so I can solve them as soon as I can. 00:12:28
And then I will record another video because in each unit there are two parts, two grammar parts. 00:12:38
so the first one is related to superlatives and the second one is going to be about must 00:12:47
and mustn't i will see you in the next video bye bye thank you guys 00:12:54
