1.Comparatives
Use comparatives (+ than) to compare things and people.
My sister's taller than me. A restaurant is quieter than a club

To form the comparative, the following rules must be followed:

It is added to the adjective "er" or "r", if it already ends in "e".
If the word ends in a vowel + consonant
the consonant is doubled. If it ends in "y" it is changed to "ier".

2.Superlatives

The superlative of short adjectives, of 1 syllable and some of 2 syllables, is formed by

adding -est.

For example:

slower (slower)

smaller (smaller).

For adjectives with 3 or more syllables, and some with 2, the majority is added before

the adjective.

For example: more important or more expensive.

 3.Giving directions

Giving directions
 Turn left. Gire a la izquierda.
 Turn right. Gire a la derecha.
 Go straight on/ahead. Vaya recto.
 Go across the street. Cruce la calle.
 On the corner. En la esquina.
 Go as far as. Vaya hasta.
 Go past the. Pase por delante de.
 Go along the street. Vaya por esta calle.

4. Can/Can't, Have To/Don't Have To

I understood that it is Use can when something is ok/allowed.

 Use can't when something is wrong or not allowed.

 Use have to when something is necessary/mandatory.

 Use don't have to when something is not necessary/mandatory.

Compare:

You can't come to the party. (You didn't get an invite.)

(You got an invite, but it's okay to stay home.)

  The question with Do you have to + infinitive, Does he/she have to infinitive.

5.Articles

Definite articles accompany nouns.

The indefinite articles in English are a and an. They are used before nouns that begin

with a consonant or vowel, respectively, to:

talk about something unspecified.

I understood that they appear in front of the name (just like in Spanish) and are never

shown alone.

They can be determinate

(Definite Article: the) and indefinite (Indefinite Articles: 'a' or 'an').

6.Apologizing
When you apologize say how you
feel + adjective I feel really bad about it

When someone apologizes too m

use No. really. It's fine. A: I'm so sorry I'm late
B: Don't worry about it A: But I feel tumble

B: No, really, It's fine

Use Don't let it happen again only when you're really angry

I'm afraid
(+ reason)
I missed the bus.
I didn't hear my alarm clock.
I lost my keys.

7.Present continuous

All verbs must end in -ing.

It is one of the present tenses used in English, the others are the present simple and

present perfect. All of them can be used in both the indicative and the subjunctive

mood.

1. Clearly explain actions that happen at the same time they are described.

2. Provide context when expressing current situations. Normally these sentences

are accompanied by adverbs such as recently, currently or lately, among others.

3. They express with certainty events or actions of the future.

4. Describe momentary actions or events.

8.Simple present

1. When you want to communicate permanent states or actions.

2. By manifesting states or situations that are routine or actions that have periodicity.

3. To talk about habits, routines or events that are repeated in certain periods of time.

4. When you give directions, instructions and signals.

5. To transmit appointments, events or commitments that will happen in a certain time.
