Comparatives Comparatives are used to compare two things. Structure: - Adjective + -er + than (short adjectives). - More + adjective + than (long adjectives). Adjectives are classified as short or long based on the number of syllables they have. 1. Short adjectives: - Usually one syllable (e.g., big, tall, fast). - Take the '-er' ending when making comparisons. 2. Long adjectives: - Two or more syllables (e.g., beautiful, expensive, interesting). - Use 'more' before the adjective when making comparisons. Tip: If an adjective ends in 'y' (e.g., happy, busy), it is treated as a short adjective. Replace 'y' with 'ier' to form the comparative. Examples: - This book is shorter than that one. - She is more intelligent than her brother. -This falcon is faster than that one. -The Burj Khalifa is more impressive than any other building. -The camel is busier during the festival season. 3 2. Present Simple The present simple tense is used to talk about daily routines, likes, dislikes, and general truths.  Structure: He / she / it + base form verb + s. I / You/ we/ they + base form verb.  Examples: o "The falcon flies high in the sky." o "My family visits the park every Friday." o "Camels live in the desert." 3. Present Continuous  Usage: Used to describe actions happening right now/at the moment or future plans.  Structure: I + am + verb + ing. He/she/ it + is + verb + ing. They/ you/ we + are + verb + ing.  Examples: o "My father is shopping at the market now." o "The camel is walking through the desert." o "They are visiting the zoo to see the animals." Distinguishing Simple Present and Present Continuous: Both the simple present and present continuous tenses are used to talk about actions, but they serve different purposes. Key Difference: - Simple Present describes regular or permanent actions. - Present Continuous describes temporary or ongoing actions. 4 Examples: - Simple Present: 'Ahmed plays football every Friday.' - Present Continuous: 'Ahmed is playing football at the park now.'
