Making comparisons


In English traditionally we make comparisons using the traditional forms of comparatives and superlatives as you can see above: 



However, in the book we are introduced to other ways of comparing like: 

It was different from all the restaurants he has gone to. 
He as tall as her sister. 
They are very similar to their cousins.
This flat is far smaller than the old one. 

Checked as well the class presentation and the laguage summary from the book.

The following video is also a reference of the topic: 


Once you have reviewed the topic complete exercises 7 and 8 from page 39 in your book. Post your answers as a comment.
