In pairs, students discuss whether the sentences in
2d are true for them or not. Look at the examples with
the class and encourage them to give similar examples.
Ask students to share some examples with the class. Be
prepared to give your own examples, too.

Monitor to check students are not using a double
comparative form, e.g. He’s more older than me. (Correct
form = He’s older than me.) I think the countryside is more
better than the city
. (Correct form = I think the countryside
is
better than the city.)

Also make sure students include the with superlative
forms, e.g. It was happiest day of my life (Correct form = It
was
the happiest day of my life.)
