COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

Comparative adjectives describe the difference between two things.

·        For adjectives with one syllable, use adjective + er. The word "than" often follows comparative adjectives.
·        If an adjective ends in one vowel and one consonant, double the consonant, as in big --> bigger
·        If the adjective ends in –e, just add –r.
·        For most adjectives with two or more syllables, use more +adjective.
·        For two-syllable adjectives that end in –le, add –r.
·        For two-syllable adjectives that end in –y, change the –y to I and add-er.

Complete each sentence below with the correct comparative form. Use your own opinions. 

1.      Lasagna is more delicious (delicious) than pizza.
2.      …………………  is …………………………… (interesting) than football.
3.      …………………  is …………………………… (beautiful) than winter.
4.      …………………  is …………………………… (famous) than Tom Hanks.

My Trip to Casablanca - ESL Worksheet - Past Tense

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Today's article is about a trip to Casablanca, a famous city in Morocco. I wrote it to help students understand and use the past tense. I hope you and your students enjoy it.

Thank you for visiting and have a great week!

MY TRIP TO CASABLANCA

Fancy tables at a famous Moroccan restaurant
Last year, I visited Casablanca with my family. Casablanca is a famous and beautiful city in Morocco. My family and I stayed in Casablanca for a week, visiting my brother and his family. I enjoyed myself very much during my visit. My brother took us to many different places while we were in Casablanca. We went to several souks, including Old Medina Souk. Old Medina Souk is a popular souk in Casablanca. It has many interesting shops and little cafes. My family and I ate pastries at a small cafe in Old Medina Souk. We also had dinner at La Firdaous. La Firdaous is a well-known restaurant in Casablanca. I ordered lamb with apricots, and it was delicious! While we were in Casablanca, we rented a house on the beach. The house had a huge wall around it, and it was far from other houses. My family and I enjoyed swimming under the sun. We also played games on the beach. I saw some turtles out in the water. I was very surprised!  I enjoyed my time in Casablanca, and I was sad to leave. I hope to visit my brother again soon!
