COMPARATIVE

• The comparative is used in English to compare differences between the two objects it
modifies (larger, smaller, faster, higher). It is used in sentences where we compare two
names, as follows:Noun (subject) + verb + adjective in comparative degree + than +
noun (object).
EXAMPLES

• My house is larger than hers.


• This box is smaller than the one I lost.
• Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
• The rock flew higher than the roof.
• Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better
SUPERLATIVE

The superlative is used to describe an object that is at the upper or lower end of a quality
(the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest).Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative
adjective + noun (object).
EXAMPLES

• Examples
• My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.
• This is the smallest box I've ever seen.
• Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
• We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the highest.
SIMPLE PRESENT

The present simple is used to talk about things that happen regularly. Unlike Spanish, the
present simple is not used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we
speak

The present simple is often used with adverbs of time:


always (siempre), every day (cada día), usually (normalmente), often (a menudo),
sometimes (a veces), rarely (raramente), hardly ever (casi nunca), never (nunca)…
• Affirmative Sentences
• I talk.(Yo hablo.)
• He eats.(Él come.)
• They learn.(Ellos aprenden.)
•  Negative Sentences
• Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to do) + auxiliar negativo (“not”) + verbo.
• I do not [don’t] talk.(Yo no hablo.)
• He does not [doesn’t] eat.(Él no come.)
• They do not [don’t] learn.(Ellos no aprenden.)
•  Interrogative Sentences 
• Verbo auxiliar (to do) + sujeto + verbo principal?
• Do you talk?(¿Hablas tú?)
• Does he eat?(¿Come él?)
• Do they learn?(¿Aprenden ellos?)
EXAMPLES

• I always talk to my mother on Sunday.(Siempre hablo con mi madre el domingo.)


• He never eats vegetables.(Nunca come las verduras.)

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

is used to describe actions that are happening at this moment, that is, at the moment in
which one is speaking. It can also be used to talk about the future
It is formed with the verb to be in the present simple (am, is, are) plus the main verb in a
gerund (ending in –ing).
Affirmative Subject + am | is | are + verb ending in -ing
• I am not learning English.
• We are not learning German.

• interrogative Am | is | are + subject + verb ending in –ing
• To ask questions, all you have to do is reverse the order of the subject and the verb to
be. oh! And here nothing to contract. To answer with short answers, you just have to put
the verb to be in the affirmative or in the negative, after the subject

• Are they learning German? No, they aren't.
