PRESENT CONTINUOUS:

The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. e.g.

• I'm meeting Jim at the airport = Jim and I have discussed this.
• I am leaving tomorrow. = I've already bought my train ticket.
• We're having a staff meeting next Monday = all members of staff have been told about it.

BE CAREFUL! The simple present is used when a future event is part of a programme or time-table.

Notice the difference between:

a. We're having a staff meeting next Monday = just that once
b. We have a staff meeting every Monday

HOW TO FORM COMPARATIVE:

ONE-SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
Form the comparative and superlative forms of a one-syllable adjective by adding –er for the comparative form and –est for the superlative.

One-Syllable Adjective	Comparative Form	Superlative Form

 If the one-syllable adjective ends with an e, just add –r for the comparative form and –st for the superlative form.

One-Syllable Adjective with Final -e	Comparative Form	Superlative Form
large	larger	largest
wise	wiser	wisest

If the one-syllable adjective ends with a single consonant with a vowel before it, double the consonant and add –er for the comparative form; and double the consonant and add –est for the superlative form.

One-Syllable Adjective Ending with a Single Consonant with a Single Vowel before It	Comparative Form	Superlative Form
big	bigger	biggest
thin	thinner	thinnest

If the two-syllable adjectives ends with –y, change the y to i and add –er for the comparative form. For the superlative form change the y to i and add –est.

happy	happier	happiest
angry	angrier	angriest
