PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS
We can use the present continuous to talk about arrangements (plans which you have organised) in the future.
Examples: My brother is playing football with his friends tonight.
I’m going to the cinema at the weekend.
PRESENT CONTINUOUS FOR FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS
Be careful!
We usually use the present continuous when the activity has been arranged. We usually use ‘going to’ for a plan which hasn’t been arranged.
I’m meeting Emma after school. (I have talked to her and organised the time to meet.)
I’m going to watch TV after school. (This is my plan but I haven’t organised it.)

QUANTIFIERS
A quantifier is a word that usually goes before a noun to express the quantity of the object; for example, a little milk. Most quantifiers are followed by a noun, though it is also possible to use them without the noun when it is clear what we are referring to. For example,
Do you want some milk? – Just a little. (It’s clear that I mean ‘a little milk’.)
Let’s start by looking at quantifiers that express large quantities. Much, Many, A lot (of)
We use ‘many’ with countable nouns and ‘much’ with uncountable nouns, and we can use ‘a lot (of)’ with both countable and uncountable nouns.
To talk about small quantities we can use ‘a few’ and ‘a little’. We use ‘a few’ with countable nouns and ‘a little’ with uncountable nouns.
A Few, A Little
SOME(algunos), ANY (ningunos)
When we want to refer to a plural noun or an uncountable noun, without giving a specific quantity, we use ‘some’ and ‘any’. We use ‘some’ in affirmatives. We use ‘any’ in questions and negatives.
ENOUGH (suficiente)
The word ‘enough’ express the idea of being a sufficient quantity. It can go with countable and uncountable nouns. We use ‘enough’ to express the idea of having, or not having, a sufficient quantity. For example:
I think we have enough vegetables so I won’t buy any more.
But we don’t have enough fruit. Let’s get some more.
Comparative adjectives are used in sentences comparing two things, while superlatives adjectives are used to compare one thing to all the others in the same group.
COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
Forming comparatives and superlatives is quite easy. The structure depends on the number of syllables, or sounds, of the original adjective. - Add ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ for one syllable adjectives. small – smaller – the smallest clean → cleaner - the cleanest
If there is one vowel followed by one consonant at the end of the adjective, we often double the consonant. Example: big → bigger / the biggest
COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVESOne syllable adjectives
- If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r or –st: Example: nice- nicer- the nicest - If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i and add –er or –est: Example: happy – happier – the happiest
COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
- Use ‘more’ and ‘the most’ with two syllable adjectives or for adjectives with three or more syllables: beautiful – more beautiful – the most beautiful careful - more careful - the most careful
interesting - more interesting - the most interesting
COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES
Be careful!
The adjectives ‘good’, ‘bad’ , little and ‘far’ have special forms. good – better – the best
bad – worse – the worst
far – further – the furthest little → less - the least

The weather this summer is as good as last year.
