What do you already know about will, shall, and making comparisons in English?

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson you will be able to use 'will', 'shall', and 'won't' for the future, and make comparisons using adjectives, the comparative and superlative, and phrases like 'as...as' and 'not as...as'.

The Future: Will, Shall, and Won't

Use 'will' to talk about future actions. 'Shall' is used in some formal English or for suggestions. 'Won't' is the negative form of 'will'.

Examples of Will, Shall, and Won't

'I will study for the test.' 'Shall we go to the park?' 'He won’t eat broccoli.'

Comparisons: Adjectives

Comparative

Superlative

Use '-er' or 'more' before adjectives for comparisons. Example: 'taller', 'more interesting'.

Use '-est' or 'most' for the highest degree. Example: 'tallest', 'most interesting'.

Making Clear Comparisons

Use 'as...as' to show equality: 'She is as fast as her brother.' Use 'not as...as' to show difference: 'This book is not as exciting as that one.'
