ID: l2-s17
INTRO: This part is all about comparing: add -er to the adjective and use "than". Read through the patterns — the drills that follow use every one of them.
**1. -er and than**
Add **-er** to regular adjectives to compare people or things.
CARD: To compare people or things, add -er to regular adjectives. Use the word "than" before the second thing.
{tall}
{taller}
{Greg is taller than Dana.}
{clean}
{cleaner}
{This window is cleaner than that one.}
* {Greg is taller than Dana.}
* {This window is cleaner than that one.}
CARD: When a word ends in a single consonant with a short vowel sound, double the consonant before adding -er.
{wet}
{wetter}
{His shoes are wetter than his coat.}
{big}
{bigger}
CARD: For words ending in a consonant and a y, change the y to an i before adding -er.
{happy}
{happier}
{The men were happier than the women.}
{heavy}
{heavier}
CARD: If an adjective already ends in the letter e, just add an r.
{nice}
{nicer}
{Today's weather is nicer than yesterday's.}
{large}
{larger}

ID: l2-s24-g
INTRO: This part practices two small but stubborn words: "some" and "any". Here's the short version before the dialogues and drills.
Use **some** in positive sentences and offers:
CARD: Use **some** in positive sentences to talk about an indefinite amount.
{He put some money on the table.}
{We need some apples for the pie.}
* {I made some coffee. Do you want some?}
* {He put some money on the table.}
CARD: Use **any** instead of "some" in negative sentences.
{I didn't buy any fruit.}
{She doesn't have any friends here.}
Use **any** in negative sentences:
CARD: In questions, use **some** when you are offering something or expect the answer to be "yes".
{I made some coffee. Do you want some?}
{Do you want some coffee?}
* {I didn't buy any fruit.}
* {She doesn't have any friends here.}
CARD: Use **any** in questions when you really don't know the answer.
{Did you make any mistakes on the test?}
{Do you have any questions?}
Questions can use either one — **some** when you expect a yes:
* {Do you want some coffee?}
**any** when you really don't know:
* {Did you make any mistakes on the test?}

ID: l2-s27-g
INTRO: This part returns to "both" and "the other", then trains a reading skill: knowing what small words point back to.
**Both** means the two together:
CARD: Use **both** to talk about two things together.
{Both books are small.}
* {Both books are small.}
* {Do you want milk or coffee? I'll have both, please.}
CARD: You can also use **both** by itself when it is clear what two things you mean.
{Do you want milk or coffee? I'll have both, please.}
**The other** means the second of two:
CARD: When talking about two things, use **the other** to mean the second one.
{One glove is wet, but the other's okay.}
* {One glove is wet, but the other's okay.}
* {There's only one shoe here. Where's the other?}
CARD: This is especially common when looking for a missing item from a pair.
{There's only one shoe here. Where's the other?}
