[Audio] Let's take a closer look at the concept of form, meaning and function. We're going to explore the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. First, we'll discuss the comparative form, where we use the adjective + -er or more/ less + adjective to make the comparative. For example, email is a fast way to communicate, print newspapers are popular, and smartphones are expensive. But what about when we compare two things? We can use the comparative to say that instant messaging is faster than email, or online newspapers have become more popular than print newspapers. We can also use the comparative with than, as in cell phones are less expensive. Now, let's move on to the superlative form, where we use the + adjective + or the most/ least + adjective to make the superlative. For instance, face-to-face courses are the fastest way to learn, our online courses are the most popular, and F2F courses are expensive. But blended learning is less expensive, and our short online course is the least expensive way to study. Finally, some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms. For example, good becomes better and the best, bad becomes worse and the worst. We'll explore more examples of these irregular forms as we continue our discussion. Next, we'll examine some specific adjectives that have irregular forms, such as good, bad, and some others. We'll look at how these adjectives change when we compare them. The comparative form uses the adjective + -er or more/ less + adjective to make the comparative. For example, email is a fast way to communicate, print newspapers are popular, and smartphones are expensive. But what about when we compare two things? We can use the comparative to say that instant messaging is faster than email, or online newspapers have become more popular than print newspapers. We can also use the comparative with than, as in cell phones are less expensive. The superlative form uses the + adjective + or the most/ least + adjective to make the superlative.

[Audio] We're going to explore the concept of form, meaning, and function in language. Let's take a look at how comparatives are used to show differences between two objects. For example, the sentence 'the ant is smaller than the elephant' uses a comparative to compare the size of two objects. This type of construction allows us to express relationships between things, which is an important aspect of language. We'll continue to examine how form, meaning, and function work together to create meaning in language..

[Audio] We will begin by examining the rules of comparison using short adjectives. When we compare using short adjectives, we add –er + than at the end of the adjective. For instance, if we compare Sami and Maher, we would say Sami is taller than Maher. The adjective tall becomes taller when we add –er. Similarly, the sentence The blond man is stronger than the thin man demonstrates this rule, where the adjective strong becomes stronger when comparing the blond man to the thin man..

[Audio] We're now going to discuss the formation of adjectives. If an adjective ends in one vowel and one consonant, we double the consonant and add -er. This is a key rule to remember. For instance, if we have the word 'Salem', which is a name, and we want to compare it to 'Saad', which is also a name, we would say that 'Salem' is fatter than 'Saad'. We double the consonant'm' and add -er to get the comparative form 'fatter'. Let's look at another example. If we have the adjective 'fat', we double the consonant 't' and add -er to get the comparative form 'fatter'. So, we see that this rule applies to both names and adjectives. Remember, the key is to double the consonant and add -er..

[Audio] We are now going to explore how to form adjectives from nouns by using the suffixes -er and -est. Let's consider the following example. If the adjective ends with -y, we change it to -i and add -er. For instance, the blue whale is heavier than a shark. The word heavier is formed by changing the adjective bigger to -ier and adding -er. We can see how the suffixes are used to form different forms of the adjective. Next, we will examine how to form adjectives from nouns by using the suffixes -er and -est. This will help us understand the relationships between the words. The formation of adjectives is a crucial aspect of language, and it's essential to understand how to use the suffixes correctly. We will explore more examples and exercises to reinforce our understanding. By mastering the use of suffixes, we can improve our language skills and become more effective communicators. Let's proceed with the next step..

[Audio] As we continue our exploration of the rules of English grammar, let's take a closer look at the formation of adjectives. Specifically, we're going to examine the rule that when an adjective ends with the letter 'e', we add the suffix '-r' to form the comparative degree. Let's consider an example, 'Batman is braver than Iron Man.' In this sentence, 'braver' is the comparative form of the adjective 'brave.' The original adjective 'brave' ends with the letter 'e', and by adding the suffix '-r', we form the comparative degree 'braver.' This rule applies to other adjectives as well, such as'strange' becoming'stranger' when comparing two things. By understanding this rule, we can effectively communicate our ideas and express ourselves with precision. ```javascript const speech = `As we continue our exploration of the rules of English grammar, let's take a closer look at the formation of adjectives.

[Audio] We can see that in English, when we compare two things or people using long adjectives, we add more before the adjective and than before the comparison. Let's take the example of comparing gold and silver. We can say that gold is more expensive than silver. The structure here is more expensive than silver. This is a key point to remember when making comparisons using long adjectives. In this structure, the long adjective expensive is modified by the adverb more, which intensifies its meaning. This is a common pattern in English when comparing things or people using long adjectives. By using this structure, we can make clear comparisons and convey our intended meaning effectively. So, when you're comparing two things or people using long adjectives, remember to use the structure more + adjective + than. This will help you make effective comparisons and communicate your ideas clearly. Let's practice this structure with another example. We can compare two things, such as a house and a car. If we say that a house is more comfortable than a car, we're using the structure more + adjective + than. This is a common way to make comparisons in English. Now, let's move on to the next point. When we compare two things or people using short adjectives, we'll use a different structure. But first, let's summarize what we've learned so far. We've seen that when we compare two things or people using long adjectives, we add more before the adjective and than before the comparison. This is a key point to remember when making comparisons in English..

[Audio] We're now going to discuss how to compare two things or people using long adjectives. When we compare two things or people using long adjectives, we add less and than. Let's take a look at an example. Nokia is less expensive than iPhone. We can see that the word expensive is a long adjective, and we've added less and than to make the sentence. This is a useful way to compare two things or people in a more formal way. We can use this structure to compare two things or people in many different contexts. For instance, we can compare their prices, their qualities, or their characteristics. The key is to use long adjectives and add less and than to make the comparison. This is an important structure to know because it helps us to express ourselves clearly and effectively. By using this structure, we can communicate our ideas and opinions in a more precise and accurate way..

[Audio] We're now going to explore the concept of Mega Goal 2.1. This goal focuses on the relationship between the form, meaning, and function of words. Let's examine some examples to clarify this concept. For instance, when we compare \bad\ and \worse than,\ we see that \bad\ is an adjective, whereas \worse than\ is a prepositional phrase functioning as an adverb. Similarly, \good\ is an adjective, but \better than\ is also a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb. By understanding the differences between these words, we can better grasp the nuances of language and improve our communication skills. Next, let's move on to the next concept. ```python.

[Audio] We are going to explore the concept of form, meaning, and function in this unit. Form refers to the physical appearance of a product or service, while meaning is the intended purpose or significance. Function, on the other hand, is the actual use or benefit that a product or service provides. Now, let's consider the example of a popular brand, Coca Cola. It is often compared to another brand, Pepsi. While the two brands may share some similarities, there are key differences in their form, meaning, and function. For instance, Coca Cola has a distinctive bottle design, which is instantly recognizable. This unique form helps convey the brand's meaning, which is associated with a rich history and a commitment to quality. Meanwhile, the function of Coca Cola is to quench thirst and provide a refreshing beverage experience. In contrast, Pepsi may have a different form, meaning, and function that appeals to a different target audience. The key takeaway here is that understanding the form, meaning, and function of a product or service is crucial in developing effective marketing strategies and building brand loyalty. By examining the characteristics of successful brands like Coca Cola, we can gain valuable insights into what makes them tick and how to apply those principles to our own marketing efforts. Let's move on to the next topic and explore how form, meaning, and function come together to achieve a mega goal..

[Audio] We've all had experiences that have shaped us in some way. We've learned to appreciate the value of a well-crafted sentence, and we've come to understand the importance of effective communication. In this unit, we'll explore the concept of mega goals, and how they relate to our daily lives. Specifically, we'll be looking at the idea of form, meaning, and function. Let's take a closer look at how these concepts interact. When using comparative forms of adjectives, it's essential to follow them with the word than. This is a fundamental principle in language, and it's crucial to understand its application. Now, let's consider the scene from The Adventures of Mr. Clown, where the main character is navigating a challenging situation. The use of sight words in this context is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves a purpose. It helps to convey the idea that even in difficult circumstances, we can find ways to communicate effectively. By examining this scene, we can gain a deeper understanding of the importance of language in our lives. So, let's continue our exploration, and see how it relates to our daily experiences..

[Audio] Our language is rich in comparisons. We use them to describe the world around us. We use them to describe ourselves and others. We use them to show similarities and differences. We use them to express our thoughts and feelings. In this unit, we'll explore the superlative form of adjectives. The superlative form is used to compare three or more things. We'll examine the rules for forming the superlative form of short adjectives. When we compare using short adjectives, we add the + adjective + – est. Let's take a look at an example. Sara is the shortest. The shortest. She is the oldest. Here, the adjectives short and old are short. We add the + adjective + – est to form the superlative form. The resulting sentence expresses a comparison between Sara and other people. We'll explore more examples and discuss the rules for forming the superlative form in more detail. By understanding the superlative form, we can express our thoughts and feelings more effectively. We can describe the world around us with greater precision. We can compare ourselves and others with greater accuracy. The superlative form is an important tool in our language. Let's continue to explore its uses and rules..

[Audio] We can see that in this example, the adjective biggest ends in the letter t, which is a consonant. If we apply the rule we've learned, we double the consonant t and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as biggest is the comparative form of the adjective big. Now, let's look at another example. If an adjective ends in one vowel + consonant + one vowel, we double the consonant and add -est. For example: The new book is the most expensive of all. In this case, the adjective expensive ends in the letters nse, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule, we double the consonant n and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as most expensive is the comparative form of the adjective expensive. We can see that in this example, the adjective expensive ends in the letters nse, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule we've learned, we double the consonant n and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as most expensive is the comparative form of the adjective expensive. We can see that in this example, the adjective most expensive ends in the letters pense, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule we've learned, we double the consonant p and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as most expensive is the comparative form of the adjective expensive. We can see that in this example, the adjective expensive ends in the letters nse, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule we've learned, we double the consonant n and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as most expensive is the comparative form of the adjective expensive. We can see that in this example, the adjective most expensive ends in the letters pense, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule we've learned, we double the consonant p and add the suffix -est to get the comparative form of the adjective. We can see that this is indeed the case, as most expensive is the comparative form of the adjective expensive. We can see that in this example, the adjective expensive ends in the letters nse, which is one vowel + consonant + one vowel. If we apply the rule we've.

[Audio] We're discussing the concept of Form, Meaning & Function in our current topic. As we explore the mega goal 2.1, let's dive into the specifics of English grammar rules. In this case, we're examining the rule that applies to adjectives ending in –y. The rule states that if an adjective ends in –y, we change it to –i and then add –est to form the superlative form. Let's take the example of the sentence, The clown with the red hat is the funniest of all. Here, the adjective funny ends in –y, so according to the rule, we change it to funni and then add –est to get funniest. This is how we form the superlative form of adjectives that end in –y. Next, we'll discuss the other mega goals, so let's move on to the next point. We'll be covering the remaining mega goals, and I'll provide you with examples and explanations to help you understand the concepts better. Let's proceed. Last updated on 2023-02-07 ``` **.
