Today's plan:

Grammar instruction: degrees of comparisons (recap)

Grammar instruction: could, would, should

Grammar instruction: adverbs

Comparisons - hoe zat het ook alweer? 

Je gebruikt comparisons (de trappen van vergelijking) om dingen met elkaar te vergelijken. Daarbij moet je goed kijken naar de 'lengte' van het woord. 

1 lettergreep	2 lettergrepen	2 lettergrepen eindigend op: -le / -ow / -er / -y	3 lettergrepen
big	famous	shallow	terrible
bigg er	more famous	shallow er	more terrible
bigg est	most famous	shallow est	most terrible

Comparisons 

Woorden van 1 lettergreep/syllable:

- Vergrotende trap: -er than

- Overtreffende trap: the -est

old

older

oldest

Comparisons 

Woorden van 3 lettergrepen of meer:

- Vergrotende trap: more 

- Overtreffende trap: most

most expensive

Comparisons: "gelijk aan/even"

+ as .... as

James is as big as Ben. (James is even groot als Ben)

- not as .... as

EZELSBRUG:        COULD  sounds like K   = (zou) Kunnen                                                 WOULD  sounds like W  = (zou) Willen

                           SHOULD blijft over omdat het MOET

Adverbs

Als je wilt benadrukken wat je van iets vindt, dan voeg je een woord eindigend op -ly toe. Zo’n woord heet een adverb (bijwoord). Dat zet je vóór het werkwoord.
