Comparatives More/ Less/ fewer

When talking about uncountable nouns; such as time, coffee, rice, milk
and love; you would need to use more than and less than.

Take a look at the following examples:

There is less chocolate ice cream in my bowl than in Julian’s bowl.

My father enjoys eating rice more than vegetable soup.
If you’re talking about countable nouns, like pencils, cars, movies and
games, you would use more than and fewer than to make
comparisons of quantity.
Examples:
When I was 10 years old, I had more toy cars than Andrew had.
Mary has fewer pencils than Jane.

Complete the sentences with more, less or fewer

1. I spend______ time in Instagram ______ watching tv.

2. My parents use the cell phone_______than my Friends.
3. Children should spend _______hours in front of any screen.
4. Cell pones are ___________expensive now _____10 years ago.

 Will, Might, Going To

We can use “will”, “might” and “going to” to make predictions in English. We often
do this when we talk about the weather, for example.

Will and might

Both “will” and “might” are modal auxiliary verbs. This means that they are followed
by the infinitive of the verb without “to”:

“It will rain later.” (Not “it will to rain…”)

“It might rain later.”
(For more information on how to use modal auxiliary verbs, see our page on can.)
We use “will” when we are sure that something will happen.
“It will be sunny later.” (100% probability)

We use “might” when something is less sure.

“It might rain later. Take an umbrella with you.” (50% probability)

The negative forms are:

“It won’t…”
“It won’t snow until December.”

“It might not…”

“It might not be sunny at the beach.”

Going to
We can use the verb “going to” (in the Present continuous tense) to talk about
things that will happen because we can see evidence now.

“I think it’s going to rain.” (I can see black clouds.)

“I think we are going to have a storm.” (The temperature is hot, there’s no wind,
and I can see black clouds.)

To use this in the negative, either say “I don’t think…” or “It isn’t going to…”
“I don’t think it’s going to rain.”
“It isn’t going to get hotter next week.”

Add the correct modal to the prediction:

1. People _______develop telepathy in the future(impossible)

2. The space explorers _______ find water on Mars(probable)
3. Regular trips to space _______ be available in the next
century(possible)
4. One day they _________find life on other planets(slightly possible)
5. It_________ be sunny tomorrow(probable)
6. We ______________develop better tecnology(sure)
