B. GRAMMAR:
I.Ôn tập so sánh hơn với tính từ( comparative forms of adjectives)
Ta sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người(hoặc vật) này với người(hoặc vật) khác. Trong câu so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm 2 loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn, trong đó:

• Tính từ ngắn là tính từ có 1 âm tiết : Ví dụ : tall, high, big………..
• Tính từ dài là tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên : Ví dụ : expensive, intelligent……..

II. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn:

Đối với tính từ ngắn	Đối với tính từ dài
S1 + to be + adj +er + than + S2
Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ	Với tính từ dài, thêm đuôi “more” vào trước tính từ
Ví dụ: China is bigger than India Lan is shorter than Nam My house is bigger than your house His pen is newer than my pen	Ví dụ: Gold is more valuable than silver Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa Your book is more expensive than my book Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2

Lưu ý: Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh
Ví dụ: Her boyfriend is much/ far older than her
III. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn:
1.Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn

Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm àthêm đuôi -er	Old-older, near-nearer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên  âm “e” àthêm đuôi -r	Nice-nicer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên  âm(ueoai) +1 phụ âm à gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi -er	Big-bigger, hot-hotter, fat-fatter
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn àbỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier”	Happy-happier, Pretty-prettier

Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “et, ow, er, y” thì áp dụng như quy tắc thêm er ở tính từ ngắn
Ví dụ: quiet àquieter                                 clever à cleverer
            Simple à simpler                            narrow ànarower
2.Một vài tính từ đặc biệt:
 Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên.

IV. SO SÁNH HƠN VỚI TRẠNG TỪ (COMPARATIVE FORMS OF ADVERBS)
Tương tự như với tính từ, trang từ chia thành 2 loại:
-.Trạng từ ngắn là những trạng từ có 1 âm tiết.
Ví dụ: hard, near, far, right, wrong…………
-Trạng từ dài là những từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên.
Ví dụ: slowly, responsibly, quickly, interestingly, tiredly……
1.Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ:

Đối với trạng từ ngắn	Đối với trạng từ dài
S1 +V +adv +er +than+ S2	S1 +V +more / less +adv  +than+ S2
Với các trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ chỉ cách thức có hình thức giống tính từ, ta thêm “er” vào sau trạng từ	-Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ cách thức có đuôi “ly” ta thêm “mỏe”(nhiều hơn) hoặc “less”(ít hơn) vào các trước trang từ -“Less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more” ,được dùng để diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít hơn.
Ví dụ: They work harder than I do. She runs faster than he does My mother gets up earlier than me. I go to school later than my friends do	Ví dụ: My friend did the test more carefuly than I did. My father talks more slowly than my mother does. Hanh acts less resposibly than anyone

2.Một vài trạng từ có dạng từ đặc biệt:

Tính từ	Dạng so sánh hơn
well	Better
Badly	Worse
Far	Farther/ further
Early	Earlier

Ví dụ:
