- How did the tusks feel? Smooth, hard, and sharp. It is like a spear
- What did the third man touch? He touched the trunk which felt long, thin and wiggly
just like a snake
- What did the fourth man touch? He touched the legs that felt thick, hard and round
just like a tree.
 - The fifth man? He touched the elephant’s ear. It was thin like a fan.

inseamna comparativ? Dar superlativ? Vom citi impreuna cate un exemplu din tabel si il vom
traduce:
- cheap- cheaper(than)- the cheapest( ieftin, mai ieftin decat, cel mai ieftin)
- noisy- noisier(than)- the noisiest( galagios, mai galagios, cel mai galagios)
