Teaching notes

Twelve questions on comparing things: short adjectives with -er and -est (bigger, hottest, heavier), longer ones with more and most, the irregular good, better, best and bad, worse, worst, and the words than and the. It's for A2 learners, who often say "more big" or "gooder".

After each answer, ask a learner to make a new sentence with the same adjective about the class or the town. For a follow-up, ask pairs to compare three cities, animals or phones they know, then share their best sentence. Play it live so each learner answers on their own device, or print it for homework.
