Hi. I'm Jennifer.
Let's practice grammar together in an easy and interesting way.
You know a lot of grammar.
You know a lot of words.
But sometimes it's hard to remember everything when you speak, right?
Don't worry. Just relax.
Just listen and repeat.
Monday was a bad day.
I lost my favorite hat.
Tuesday was worse.
I lost my phone.
Wednesday was the worst day of the week.
I lost my cat.
My cat is more important than my phone or hat.
Thursday was a little better.
I found my hat.
Friday was much better.
I found my phone.
Saturday was the best day of the week.
My neighbor found my cat.
Sunday was a very good day
because I had everything and I didn't lose anything.
Let's review these adjectives.
Listen and repeat.
Note these verbs in the past tense.
Listen and repeat after me.
Listen and repeat.
In September, the weather is a little cooler.
I wear a jacket or sweater.
In October and November, it becomes colder.
So I wear a heavier coat.
December, January, and February are the coldest months.
Winter has the shortest days.
In March, the days become longer.
In April, the days are sunnier.
In May and June, the sun is brighter.
In spring, everything is greener and more colorful.
Spring might be the most beautiful season.
Let's review the comparative and superlative forms of these adjectives.
Listen and repeat.
cooler
the coolest
heavy
heavier
the heaviest
short
shorter
the shortest
long
longer
the longest
sunny
sunnier
the sunniest
bright
brighter
the brightest
green
greener
the greenest
Why can't we say colorful-er or the beautiful-est?
Because with long adjectives, we use more, not ER.
And we use the most, not EST.
So more colorful and the most beautiful.
Listen and repeat.
It's more colorful in springtime.
What's the most beautiful season?
Do you remember our first reading?
Did I use more important or important-er?
I used more important.
And listen, I can say that word, that adjective, two ways.
Important, with that true T.
Or, in fast American English, you often hear important.
More important, the most important.
Both ways are okay.
But we must use more and the most.
More important, the most important.
In the first reading, I said my cat is more important than my phone or hat.
Answer my questions in the comments.
Which is more beautiful, spring or fall?
What's the most beautiful season?
