Comparisons = Trappen van Vergelijking

Wanneer?

* Als je mensen, dieren, dingen met elkaar gaat vergelijken

Korte woorden van 1 lettergreep:

Er komt dus -ER of -EST achter het bijvoeglijk naamwoord bij vergelijkingen

Vergrotende + overtreffende trap

klein - kleiner - kleinst(e)

small - smaller - smallest

groot - groter - grootst(e)

big - bigger - biggest

aardig - aardiger - aardigst(e)

nice - nicer - nicest

Vergrotende trap:

-ER

Vaak wordt het woord gevolgd door THAN

Frank is fatter than Rob.

The boys are faster than us.

Overtreffende trap:

-EST

Vaak komt er voor het woord THE te staan

Rob is the fattest boy I know.

That is the fastest car ever.

Lange woorden 

Let op:- als het bijvoegelijk naamwoord twee lettergrepen of langer is, zet je er more en most voor

Example: popular - more popular - most popular

Degrees of comparison

Quantifiers

LEARNING GOALS:

1. I know what quantifiers are. 

2. I know how to use quantifiers correctly.

How do you say 'veel' in English?

Grammar: much/many/few/little

much	veel	niet-telbaar , e.v.

few	weinig	telbaar , m.v.
little	weinig	niet-telbaar , e.v.
a few	een beetje	telbaar , m.v.

QUANTIFIERS: A LOT OF / MUCH / MANY

	Telbaar	Ontelbaar
Bevestigend (+) * Behalve na: so, as & too	I have a lot of coins * He has got so many friends.	I drink a lot of coffee. * I've got as much money as he has.
Ontkenning (-)	I haven't got many banknotes.	I haven't got much time.
