PROYECTO: 2. COMPARATIVE, SUPERLATIVE, TIME CONNECTORS

ACTIVITY FOR MY CONVERSATION GROUP
Unit: "Life before and life now"
You will have to compare places and things in this unit. You will also have to write and speak about people's life so the connectors of time will be useful, too.
Rememeber:
  • Adjectives can have a comparative (-er...than, more...than) and a superlative form (the ...-est, the most...) depending on the number of syllables.
  • Subordinate clauses of time can have different connectors: when, while, after, before, as soon as, as, as long as.
Complete these sentences with the correct comparative or superlative adjective or a connector of time.
