3) Clarification: (2-3 minutes) • A) Guided discovery

Pairs – Compare Structure: Tell Ss that they will work in pairs to try to observe the way of negative comparison as may be some of them do it correctly some others no so they have to think in 1 minute what is the rule they follow while comparing between styles in pairs ICQs 1)Are you going to work pairs or individually?

B) the summary (10-15 minutes) • form use

-Ask Ss to Look at the summary and check, compare their answers: Comparisons with (not) as ... as-.,» 1.12 You can make comparisons with (not) as • .• as with adjectives, nouns, and adverbs. Adjectives The pants are just as comfortable as my jeans. (They're the same.) The pants are not as comfortable as my jeans. (They're less comfortable.) Adverbs : I don't look as scruffy as I did. (I was scruffier before.) Nouns : She spends as little time as possible on her makeup. She doesn't wear as many bright colors as she should. He doesn't pay as much attention to his appearance as he should. I tried as hard as I could to find the right style for her. I don't like short hair as much as long hair. Form • (not) as+ adjective + as The pants are just as comfortable as my jeans. I don't look as scruffy as 1 did. • (not) as+ noun phrase+ as She spends as little lime as possible on her makeup. She doesn't wear as many bright colors as she should. • (not) as+ adverb + as J tried as hard as 1 could to find the right style. I don't like short hair as much as Loni{ hair. Use • as ... as When two things or people are compared using as ... as, it generally means they are the same in some way. The pants are just as comfortable as my jeans. ( = The jeans and pants are both equally comfortable.) • not as ... as When things or people are compared with not as ... as, it generally means that they are not the same. It has a meaning similar to "less than." I don't like short hair as much as long hair. (= I like short hair less than long hair. OR I like long hair more than short hair.) • In the lesson, the as . .. as structure is followed by: a noun phrase (The pants are just as comfortable as my jeans.); a verb phrase or clause (I don't look as scruffy as I did.); or an adjective (She spends as little time as possible.). CCQS: 1-Is the form used to compare between two? yes 2- Is as ..............as followed by a verb? NO - A noun 3-What comes between as ............................as? An adjective 4- In which form do we use the adjective? Original form Rule 2 Negative questions ' When you want or expect someone to agree with you, you can use negative questions. To express an opinion To suggest an idea To show surprise Isn't this jacket great? Aren't they a little expensive? Isn't it on sale? Don't you think it's great? Don't you think it's too bright? Don't you like it? Doesn't that look good on him? It'd look good, don't you think? Doesn't she like it? Form Negative questions can be used in a variety of verb forms: present and past, as both simple and continuous verbs, and with modal verbs. The lesson presents negative questions with the present of be and the simple present. • Present of be Isn't that jacket great? Aren't they expensive? • Simple present Don't you like it? Doesn't she like it? It'd look good, don't you think? Use People generally use a negative question when they want another person to agree with them, even though they may think the other person will have a different opinion. The lesson presents three common uses of negative questions. • To express an opinion Isn't this jacket great?(= I love it.) • To suggest an idea It'd look good on you, don't you think?(= You may or may not agree it would look good, but I want you to think it would.) • To express surprise Don't you like it? ( = It sounds like you don't, and I'm surprised.) Negative questions with isn't are the most common. They account for about a third of the uses of isn't. CCQs 1-Are negative questions used to express an opinion? Yes 2- Are they used to suggest an idea? Yes 3- which is most common? Negative with isn;t
