7. COMPARATIVES/ SUPERLATIVES The formation of the comparative and superlative depends on the number of syllables in the adjective:
One-syllable Adjectives To form the comparative, we add -er to the end of the adjective. To form the superlative, we add -est to the end of the adjective.
Adjective Comparative Superlative
small smaller the smallest
cold colder the coldest
light lighter the lightest
short shorter the shortest
Remember that comparatives are often followed by than.
• London is bigger than Santiago. • Mike is taller than John but James is the tallest.
Two-syllable Adjectives ending in -Y To form the comparative, we remove the -y and add -ier to the end of the adjective. To form the superlative, we remove the -y and add -iest to the end of the adjective.
Adjective Comparative Superlative
crazy crazier the craziest
happy happier the happiest
early earlier the earliest
• It was the happiest day of my life. • My joke was funnier than your one.
Adjectives with Two or more Syllables For Adjectives with 2 syllables (that don't end in -y) and higher (3, 4 syllables etc), we use more for comparatives and the most for superlatives.
Adjective Comparative Superlative
handsome more handsome the most handsome
nervous more nervous the most nervous
enthusiastic more enthusiastic the most enthusiastic
• My girlfriend is more beautiful than yours. • Alex is more intelligent than you but I am the most intelligent.
Irregular Forms
Adjective Comparative Superlative
good better the best
bad worse the worst
far further / farther the furthest / farthest
• I am a better tennis player than you but Marcelo is the best. • Steve is a worse liar than me but Adrian is the worst.
Remember that the opposites of 'more' and 'most' are 'less' and 'least', respectively.

ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONALS
CONDITIONALS.
It refers to a new tense that we use when a “condition” influences on to another action.
E.g. “If I pay lots of attention to the lessons, I understand everything better”. (What happens if you don´t pay attention? That you´ll have more difficulties to understand!)
In Conditional sentences you´ll find the preposition “IF” which always introduces the condition to take into account.
Conditionals are classified into four different types:
A. Zero Conditional. B. First Conditional. C. Second Conditional. D. Third Conditional.
Let´s learn how to use them!
A. Zero Conditional.
It´s used to say general truths and general habits. We can make a zero conditional sentence with two Present Simple verbs (one in the 'if clause' and one in the 'main clause').
Its structure:
If + Present Simple tense, Present Simple tense. ____________________ _________________
If Clause Main Clause
E.g.
• If water reaches 100ºC, water boils. • If you touch a fire, you get burned. • People die if they don't eat. • You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen. • Snakes bite if they are scared. • If babies are hungry, they cry.
B. First Conditional.
It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
Its structure:
If + Present Simple tense, Future Simple tense. ____________________ _________________
If Clause Main Clause
E.g.
• If it rains, I won't go to the park. • If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. • If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. • She'll be late if the train is delayed. • She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon. • If I see her, I'll tell her.
To sum up, The first conditional describes a particular situation that might happen in the future, whereas the zero conditional describes what happens talks about general truths or habits.
