Letter generator is an online tool that can help us to write both personal and business letters.

Prepositions of time (AT, IN, ON)

Comparison

From English Exercises comes this useful worksheet to revise the comparatives.

Remember that when an adjective is short (it has one syllable or two syllables and ends with -y ) we use the -er to make the comparison and then we use the word than which means (que). Look at the example:

Sara is taller than Maria.
Sara es más alta que María.

Sara is funnier than Maria.
Sara es más divertida que María.

If the adjective is long (it has two or more syllables), we use MORE + adjective + THAN

Look at the example:

Maria is more beautiful than Sara.
Maria es más guapa que Sara.

Now do the activities, remember that in that wonderful site englishexercises you can find more activities to revise lots of aspects about grammar and vocabulary.

Instructions:

Click on the picture of an object and you will hear the pronunciation of the word you have selected. Then, choose the letters that form that word. You will be able to hear the way the letters you choose are spelt, so the game also helps us consolidate the pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet.

When you have finished choosing the letters of the word, click on 'submit' and the game will tell you whether the word is correctly or incorrectly written.
