Classification

Exercise 3. Provide students with a handout containing a set of comparative sentences.
- In pairs or individually, ask the students to classify each sentence according to its comparative type (positive, comparative, or superlative).
- Encourage them to think about the grammar rules used in each sentence and how they contribute to the meaning of the comparison.
- After a few minutes, review the answers as a class and discuss any questions or difficulties encountered.
