Принцип
- Comparative — сравниваем два предмета: short +
-er, long +more; после него ставим than. - Superlative — сравниваем три и более:
the+ short +-estилиthe most+ long adjective. - Написание: big → bigger (удвоение), large → larger (убираем
e), happy → happier (y → i). - too + adjective = «слишком»; not + adjective + enough = «недостаточно». Это противоположные конструкции: too cold = not warm enough.
Pronunciation — это задание на аудирование, по фото его не выполнить. В британском произношении конечное -er в richer, poorer и т. п. звучит как [ə].
