The person bought a car that was higher in price than any other car. He drove the car on a very long road, and it broke down.

Adjectives: superlatives

subject + verb + the + superlative adjective + rest of sentence

Superlatives are used to compare things in quantity (how many of something) and quality (how good something is), (the biggest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). We usually use -est when it’s a one or two syllable adjective. We use most with longer adjectives.

Saleh is the fastest student in his class because he trains every day.

Mariam works in the biggest digital company in the UAE.

Helma has the most exciting job in her family, but she works a lot.

Comparatives & Superlatives

I am taller than my brother.

The book was more exciting than the film.

The speaker is comparing his height with his brother’s, books with films and TV with cinema.

Adjectives: comparatives

subject + (to be) + comparative + than + noun

as + (adjective/adverb) + as

We use comparatives to compare the same quality in two things. We use a comparative followed by ‘than’. To form a comparative, we usually use –er for one or two syllable adjectives (smaller) while more is used for longer adjectives (more successful).

The new smartphone is as expensive as a new computer.

The job interview was more difficult than the actual work.

Maitha was more excited to buy a new car than to travel to Europe.

I’ve visited Dubai before, so I know where the interesting sights are.

In the past, the speaker went to Dubai. This means that they can find exciting places to go in Dubai now.

Present perfect simple

subject + have / has + past participle

We can use the present perfect simple to talk about an action that finished in the past but is still connected to the present. It focuses on the result of the previous action. In the example above, the speaker only knows Dubai now because they have been there in the past.

You’ve cleaned your room, so you can go and ride your bike now.

Have you seen those movies before?

I’ve searched for more than three hours and still cannot find the house.

Activity: Fill in the blanks using the present perfect simple verbs.

I ___________ (study) French.

She ___________ (eat) octopus.

They ___________ (be) to Scotland.

We ___________(read) that book.

He ___________ (live) here for three years.

You (know David for ten years.

have studied

My sister told me that the film would be released next week.

The speaker’s sister had told him/her in a previous conversation when the film is available.

Reported speech for present and future plans

Subject + verb + that + noun clause

We use reported statements to repeat what someone had previously said. Reported statements use ‘that’ and a tense that is ‘backshifted’ (one step further into the past than the original speech). In the example above, the direct speech would be, “The film will be released next week.” When we report it, we backshift ‘will’ to ‘would’.

Maryam reported that the company would be giving pay rises.

My mother said that she could take us to the show.

The manager said that the Dubai Opera House would be closed for a week.

Reported Speech

She said that she doesn’t like things that crawl on her head.

Activity: Rewrite the sentences using reported speech.

It’s going to rain tomorrow.

The speaker is predicting that the weather in the future will be wet.

Future time (going to)

subject + (to be) + going to + infinitive

In this case, ‘going to’ is used with the verb ‘to be’ and the infinitive of the main verb to talk about predicted future events and situations.

They are going to win the competition next week.

We are going to have a lot of fun at the restaurant later.

He is going to get a good score in his exam.

Activity 1: Answer the questions using ‘going to’ in the answer.
