Let’s take Do you like shopping on the Internet? for example. If your answer is yes,

How does it Does it benefit
make you feel? you in any way?
No, I am not a big fan of online shopping. The images and descriptions on the
website are sometimes misleading. Therefore, I like going to the stores and
physically see as well as try the products. This experience helps me to make
better decisions. Moreover, online shopping has security risks such as credit card
fraud, so I am not that into online shopping.
Comparing
Advantages and disadvantages. Often when asked a question about likes or dislikes (or a
general question), you will be able to compare it to something else.
Yes, I quite like them. If you are on a train you can relax and look out the window, read, use your laptop
- it's all quite comfortable. On the bus it's more difficult to do those things because there is less space
and the movement can make you travel sick too. The only problem with trains in my country is that
they are often delayed or late. That can ruin your journey.
Comparing form refresher
Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects or things they modify
(larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this
pattern:
Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than +
■ My house is larger than hers. noun (object)
■ This box is smaller than the one I lost.
■ Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
■ The rock flew higher than the roof.
■ Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better.
Superlative form
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (the
tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the h
ighest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects

ONE SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
Add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a consonant +
single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the
ending.
TWO SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceding the
adjective with more. These adjectives form the superlative either by adding -est or by preceding the
adjective with most. In many cases, both forms are used, although one usage will be more common
than the other. If you are not sure whether a two-syllable adjective can take a comparative or
superlative ending, play it safe and use more and most instead. For adjectives ending in y, change
THREE OR MORE SYLLABLE
ADJECTIVES
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of the adjective,
