New Hello - Second Year - Unit 6

[Essam ABDOU]

Dear Mr. Essam,

Masha`allah, you`ll be envied for your knowledge and speed.

I don`t think you would mind a little suggestion:

Please add the difference between older - elder and oldest - eldest

More clarification and differentiation between:

a bit / slightly / a little + comparative

a lot / far / much + comparative

But by far + superlative

Best Regards

[مستر فتحي بنداري]

Nothing could be better

متعك الله بالصحة و العافية دوما يا مستر عصام

[Mr. Reda Ghaly]

When One Thank You is Not Enough…

A simple "thank you" is an understatement for the tremendous good that you do in this world. We all do what we can to make it better, but you,Mr Essam, have the power to do so much more. Tons of thanks Mr. Essam

[El Sayed Siam]

ماشاء الله ولاقوة إلا بالله وبارك الله فيك ويكفيك دعوات الناس لك

[مستر وليد السيد]

Generous as usual
knowledgable as demonstrated in your pieces of work
active and dynamic as shown in your posts
May Allah reward you

[mr. Hamdy]

جزاك الله كل خير يا مستر عصام
كان ليا رجاء من قبل
اننا نحصل على باسورد الحمايه للملفات
عشان لو حد حب يضيف معلومات او يغير فونتات او الى غير ذلك
وجزاك الله كل خير

[جواد عوض]

بسم الله ما شاء الله والله اكبر

Mr. Essam Abdou
Thank you so much for the remarks. I always miss something. Following are a few more remarks on adjectives. Perhaps some of us will find them useful

1-Other words used with comparatives:
No – any – rather – even
Is your mother any better today?
Your cooking is even worse than Ali's.




We do not use the with the superlative if there is a possessive
Zewail's greatest achievement was the discovery of the femto second.

We can modify superlative with by far, easily and nearly.
Mario's is by far the best restaurant in town.
I'm nearly the oldest in the class.


A few two-syllable adjectives can take either -er/-est or more/most. Here are the most common examples:
common – narrow – pleasant – simple – quiet – stupid – clever - polite

Comparatives can also occur after be and other link verbs like become, e.g.:
The street has become quieter since they left.

You should be more sensible

Ordinal numbers are often used with superlatives to indicate that something has more of a particular quality than most others of its kind, e

It’s the third largest city in the country

The adjectives ill and well, describing bad and good health, have irregular comparative forms. The comparative of ill is worse, and the comparative of well is better, e.g.: She’s feeling much better/worse today.

When we compare two descriptions, we usually use more. Here comparatives with –er are not possible.
She is more lazy than stupid.

كل الشكر و التقدير و الامتنان للأساتذة الأفاضل علي كلماتهم المشجعة وهذا الثناء الذي أري أنني لا أستحقه

فما نقدمه من عمل ينقصه الكثير وأؤمن دائما بقول الشاعر الأندلسي أبو البقاء الرندي

لكـل شيء إذا ما تم نقصانُ فلا يغر بطيب العيش إنسانُ

وأسعد دائما بكل نقد يبين أوجه القصور فيما نقدمه هنا

[Mr sayed Saad]

جزاك الله خيرا

[El Sayed Siam]

أستاذنا العزيز أخيرا لقيت حاجة أتكلم فيها 1- السؤال الثانى فى المواصفات ليس قاصرا على سؤال Place & speakers وإنما أيضا هناك Mini-Dialogues كما جاء بالمواصفات 2- سؤال Paragraph كما جاء بالمواصفات يطلب من الطالب كتابة مالا يقل عن 100 كلمة وليس عدد معين من السطور كما جاء بمذكرة حضرتك أرجو أن تسامحنى على هذا التطاول وإنما هى مجرد ملحوظة فى بحر هائج بالمعلومات

[نبيل موريس جورج]

رائع كالعادة
