Lisa is more intelligent than Paul...
I prefer to study English than to study Spanish...they are my simple phrases with comparatives...hugs

Those are all perfect examples of the comparative, Daniel! Great job! Now what about the use of the superlative?

Por: Junnin em 03/10/2009 às 12:28h

Britney is fatter than Christina... Lily Allen is more intelligent than Katy... Sao Paulo is more industrialized than Rio de Janeiro

Por: danielxadrez em 03/10/2009 às 13:46h

Por: Ash em 05/10/2009 às 10:17h

Great, sentences Junnin! And this time, I agree with all of them! lol!

Por: Ash em 03/10/2009 às 12:18h

Who else can give us some examples of the comparative and superlative? And something I'd like to know is: What do you like to stream most on your computer? Is it films, youtube videos, music...?

Por: AbacaFrehley em 03/10/2009 às 16:23h

C: He plays better than me. S: This is the biggest house. Ash: About streaming I watch some youtube videos and meuingles lessons. I don't know how but I got 136,35% in the exercises of this lesson.

Por: Ash em 05/10/2009 às 11:52h

Yes, I agree, Lanier, Celine Dion does have a wonderful voice! I am so glad that, through meuInglês, your listening skills have improved enough to understand music in English! That's great! And thank you for being such a dedicated meuInglês user! We really appreciate your comments!

Por: Ash em 05/10/2009 às 12:02h

AbacaFrehley, first, thank you for telling us your score. We're still working out some bugs on the site, and this one has just been fixed. And your use of the comparative and superlative is great, but I'm curious, is it the biggest house you've ever seen? And what does he play better than you?

Por: AbacaFrehley em 05/10/2009 às 16:39h

Hi Ash! That was the biggest house that I've ever seen and he plays soccer better than me.

Por: Ash em 05/10/2009 às 18:13h

LOL! Great, AbacaFrehley! Thanks!

Por: monicabic em 04/10/2009 às 11:27h

Great sentences, Abaca! As for your score we will have tech checking it, ok?

Por: AbacaFrehley em 04/10/2009 às 17:46h

ok, tks

Por: genilton em 05/10/2009 às 13:02h

When I was a kid, I wanted to be the taller boy in neighborhood, but I was not, but I was the smartest one, and I also was the humblest one.

Por: Ash em 06/10/2009 às 11:06h

Hmm, I didn't understand your use of taller, Genilton. Was there only one other boy in the neighborhood? Remeber that the comparative is used when comparing only two things or people.

Por: genilton em 06/10/2009 às 12:02h

LOL. I've made confusion. Correcting: "When I was a kid, I wanted to be taller than all other boys in neighborhood".

Por: Ash em 06/10/2009 às 14:16h

Perfect!

Por: FernandoCortez em 05/10/2009 às 13:17h

Hello there. Thanks for more this tech lesson. These are my couple of sentences: The best and fastest way to learning English is through MeuInglês. I tried other ways and I can guarantee that MeuInglês' method is much better than any other one. As for streaming, I usually watch samples of movies, music clips, and some other stuff through YouTube. There are tons of useful videos on YouTube, for example, I’ve been developing new software at given language, and YouTube has been really useful since I found out many video-aulas (video class?) that has been absolutely helpful for me. Despite the fact YouTube has lots of trashes, many useful things can be found there, another great example is guitar class, I like to learn how to play a new music once in a while, and these stream videos has been helping me out to develop my skills.
See you guys.

Por: monicabic em 05/10/2009 às 15:16h

Hi Fernando, I'm glad you liked the lesson. I can see you are a tech guy. Now let's look at some of your sentences: We can say the way to learn or the way for learning. "Video classes" is fine, so, if it is plural they have been helpful. The word "trash" is always singular, all right?

Por: FernandoCortez em 05/10/2009 às 19:44h

Hey Monica, Thanks for correcting me and clarifying my doubt. Have a great night.

Por: monicabic em 06/10/2009 às 16:06h

You are welcome!

Por: FabioLopes em 06/10/2009 às 12:18h

I am the baldest of my family.
I think that I am balder than Josh.

Por: Tamara em 06/10/2009 às 14:44h

Fabio- You're the baldest in your family, ok, but balder than Josh? Não sei...rs. Good job! Abs.

Por: Josh em 06/10/2009 às 15:04h

I see everyone has something to say about my baldness! All I have to say in my defense is that my uncle is the baldest in my family. He is so bald that he takes the hair from one side of his head and combs it over to the other side to cover his baldness. The other bald men in my family laugh at him! I cut my hair short so I do not have to worry about this problem! Bald is beautiful!

Por: FabioLopes em 07/10/2009 às 12:37h

Hello Tamara, thanks.

Por: FabioLopes em 07/10/2009 às 12:43h

Helo Josh. In my family no exists anyone bald. Only me, but I do not worry about this problem, because I am so good-looking!

Por: Josafá em 06/10/2009 às 22:01h

I play bass better than my friends but Victor Wollen is the best bass player that I know!

Por: Ash em 07/10/2009 às 10:56h

Perfect sentence, Josafá! Good job! I, unfortunately, don't play any instrument, but if I did, I'd play bass guitar!

Por: Rodrigo em 08/10/2009 às 13:38h

Hi Josafa. As you I play bass guitar too, but in my guess Victor Wooten can be just considered the current best player in the world. We don't have how to measure this kind of stuff. If you look back to the history we had great bass players in the past, as you know. People such as Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clark, Flea, or even Sting and Paul McCartney could be considered great bassists in their styles as well. By the way, I love so much Victor Wooten's style and I consider him one of the most criative bass players in the whole world at this moment. Take care.

Por: Alessandra em 09/10/2009 às 16:02h

my husband is taller than me.
my kids are the best in the world.

Por: apessoa em 09/10/2009 às 16:29h

How many kids do you have Alessandra? Do they speak English??

Por: Pati em 12/10/2009 às 19:46h

I was the slowest to finish this lesson.
Today I am less hurrier than last week. It´s the lastest well done ?: hurrier ???

Por: Tamara em 13/10/2009 às 13:13h

Pati- Hi! A expressão é "in a hurry". Hurrier não funciona por hurry não ser um adjetivo. You'd say "Today I'm not as rushed as I was last week". The first sentence is correct! Good job. Abs.

Por: Pati em 13/10/2009 às 18:15h

thanks for the correction. Bye Tamara

Por: narim em 17/10/2009 às 01:49h

My neighbor downstairs is lourder than the upstairs ( eu quero dizer eu moro no primeiro andar e tem mais dois andares o vizinho acima do meu é mais barulhento do que o terceiro andar. Deu para entender?)
He is the healthiest person I've ever seen.

Por: monicabic em 17/10/2009 às 18:27h

Narim, "downstairs" seria para andar de baixo. Na verdade os dois são upstairs neighbors, right? Para diferenciar seria melhor dizer my neighbor from the first floor and my neighbor from the second floor.

Por: narim em 17/10/2009 às 18:39h

Thank you, monicabic. I am trying write again:
My neighbor from the first floor is louder than my neighbor from the second floor.
Is it correct?
The phrase with superlative, is it correct?

Por: monicabic em 17/10/2009 às 18:43h

Now both the comparative and the superlative sentences are perfect!

Por: gmangold em 25/06/2010 às 19:03h

Narim, I think you have to correct some words in your sentences (neighbour, not neighbor) and in the first sentence (I am trying write again) I think it must be written (I am trying to write again). I think this is more correct.

Por: narim em 17/10/2009 às 22:49h

Thank you, monicabic.

Por: Romu em 21/10/2009 às 06:41h

I'm tallest than my wife,But some time she is tallest than me afther wearing high hells.

Por: Ash em 21/10/2009 às 11:55h

Oi, Romu! Vale verificar a página de gramática de novo para ver a diferença entre o comparative e superlative. E salto em inglês é heels.

Por: Romu em 22/10/2009 às 06:40h

Hy Ash, Thanks - I'm taller than my wife,But some time she is taller than me afther wearing high heels.I think that now is right, By.

Por: zabany em 23/06/2010 às 09:08h

In this cool weather the most interesting thing to do is to stay at home.
I prefer summer because it's hotter than the other seasons.

Por: Tamara em 23/06/2010 às 12:22h

Perfect sentence!

Por: gmangold em 25/06/2010 às 19:04h

I’ll keep doing my tasks of this lesson quicker as is possible. But I don’t have an internet large band in my computer. So, it will be done in a larger time that I expected.

Por: monicabic em 25/06/2010 às 19:18h

No problem! But it's good to try to do it as quickly as possible.

Por: gmangold em 26/06/2010 às 18:45h

I think there is an error in my last last sentence of my task (So, it will be done in a larger time ..). The word (larger) hier applied must be (longer time. Isn't it, Teacher?

Por: dila.bg em 14/07/2010 às 22:37h
