LET´S COMPARE PLACES, IDEAS, THINGS OR PEOPLE (Comparemos)

Para comparar cosas, lugares, ideas o personas usamos los adjetivos como base.

ADJECTIVES:

Big, old, tall, nice Beautiful, expensive

Short, easy, happy Dangerous, careful

Good, hot, cold Interesting, difficult

Fast, cheap attractive

1. Look at the figure… which one is the difference between the list of adjectives in each
page of the book?
(¿Mira el dibujo… cuál cree es la diferencia entre las dos listas de adjetivos presentadas en
cada página del libro?)

The difference is that the first list of adjectives is used to describe places or things and the
second list is used to describe people

lions, elephants and giraffes. I love Africa!
