This is a game for learning English (ESL) with a specific focus on comparatives

The game uses pairs of images that show a difference. For example a tall person and a short person. These pairs are matched with the comparative form of an adjective. For example 'taller'. The comparative forms describe the meanings conveyed in the pairs of images.

The comparative form is always made by taking the image on the left as primary. The image on the left is always the subject of the sentence and the image on the right is always the object.

The game has 2 main screens. First there is a screen where you can view pairs of images and read a phrase that describes the comparison. You can click on adjacent images to scroll through them. The aim of this screen is to review the images and give an idea of the differences. On this screen you can also select which set of content you would like to use. To start the game, you click on the 'play' button.

The second of the main screens is the game screen. This shows pairs of images and requires you to make comparatives phrases to describe the differences. To make the phrases, you first have to select which adjective to use (remembering that the left image is always the subject). Then you are presented with 3 different forms of the adjective and you have to select which form is the accurate way to make the comparative. For example, the very first pair of images shows an elephant and a mouse. First, you choose the adjective 'big' and then you select the word 'bigger' to describe the difference. Once you have made 12 phrases, the set is complete and you get a score.

There are 6 different sets of content:

Each set of content has 12 pairs of images and a matching comparative phrase. The sets were chosen on the basis of how easy there were to represent visually. It would have been good to use comparative forms of adjectives like 'intelligent' or 'nice', but those are difficult to show in an image.

There is a scoring system in which you get points for correct answers. Getting answers correct in a row - without any mistakes - dramatically increases the score you get. There is also a timer through which you can get more score for answering quickly. Unlike other games, the timer does not cause a game over. A timer can make the game more interesting, but a lot of people email me feedback to say that it is often quite frustrating when it ends the game. The timer running out does however end the streak of correct answers. In this way, it is hoped that it can be engaging, but not so frustrating.

For comparative forms in English, the general rule is that words with 3 or more syllables use 'more' while shorter words just add 'er' or 'ier'. I did not think it was possible to teach or show this rule in the game; rather, students just have to know this and then look at or read the words. This game, like all the others, is really more about practicing things that students have already been taught in the classroom and is not really about instruction. I tried to use as many longer 'more' adjectives as I could; also, I managed to get good-better and bad-worse included.

It is hoped that learning can take place with this game by repeatedly forming comparative phrases. A student looks at the picture to stimulate the meaning, then through making the comparative phrase, the words are associated with the meaning.

Traveling alone is better than traveling with others.

Fast food should be banned in schools.

I think social media can be very toxic. It affects people’s self-esteem, especially teenagers. I’ve deleted Instagram twice already. I don’t post anything personal anymore. I believe we are too focused on what others are doing. People compare their lives too much. I know it’s also useful for staying in touch, but I prefer real conversations.

Modals of POSSIBILITY, Definiton and Example Sentences - English Study Page

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Modals of POSSIBILITY, Definiton and Example Sentences We use MAY, MIGHT and COULD to talk about present or future possibility. We can substitute may, might and could for maybe, perharbs or probably (which aren`t modal verbs) Example Sentences They could be there by now. Price can be high in Texas. She could finish her project tonight. I might join you if I finish my work early. They could still be waiting for us. Winters in Alaska can be really cold. I might study math. I may pass chemistry’s exam. I may eat dinner at 8:00 pm. Where is my wallet?

Look at these examples to see how we use the present simple and continuous.

The world is changing and it's changing rapidly.
The earth revolves around the sun in approximately 365 days.
I'm an engineer, but I'm working as a taxi driver at the moment.
My daughter is always leaving clothes all over the floor.

Grammar explanation

Basic contrasts

We use the present simple to talk about:

something that is always or generally true

something that happens regularly

We use the present continuous to talk about:

actions which are in progress at the moment

something generally in progress but not actually happening at the moment

future plans that have already been organised.

State verbs

State verbs describe a state rather than an action. They aren't usually used in continuous forms, so we use present simple instead of present continuous.

I don't know the answer. I'm not knowing the answer.
He reallylikes his new house. He's really liking his new house.
Theyseem busy at the moment. They're seeming busy at the moment.

State verbs often relate to:

Some verbs have a stative meaning and a different active meaning.

I have a new computer. (state - possession)
I'm having a quick break. (action - having a break is an activity)

This coffee tastes delicious. (state - our perception of the coffee)
Look! The chef is tasting the soup. (action - tasting the soup is an activity)

Other uses of present continuous

verbs describing change and development

complaints and annoying habits

Other uses of present simple

headlines
In headings at the top of articles in newspapers and magazines, references to the past are usually simplified to present simple.

Plot summaries

Note that when describing the story of a book, film, play, etc., we use present tenses.

She quits her job and goes in search of adventure.
While sheis travelling in India, she meets someone special.

Anecdotes

People also sometimes use present tenses to tell an anecdote - a funny or interesting story about a real incident. This makes the story more immediate and dynamic.

So I'm on the bus and this guy comes up to me and starts talking to me about someone called Dev. I'm like, 'Sorry, do we know each other?'
