1. Filling in the Table: Have Got / Has Got and Comparisons
The task is to look at the descriptions of each person and fill in the table with:
- Have Got / Has Got sentences describing their features.
- Compare sentences comparing them with another person (usually Emma or Kate, as in the example).
Example given:
| Person | Description | Have Got / Has Got | Compare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simge | short, brown eyes, pretty, fashionable | Simge has got brown eyes. | Simge is shorter than Emma. |
Now, let’s fill in the rest:
| Person | Description | Have Got / Has Got | Compare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okan | tall, short dark hair, strong, friendly | Okan has got short dark hair. | Okan is taller than Tim. |
| Kate | green eyes, chubby, kind | Kate has got green eyes. | Kate is kinder than David. |
| Tim | short, short fair hair, slim, quiet | Tim has got short fair hair. | Tim is quieter than Okan. |
| Emma | tall, wavy blonde hair, brave, creative | Emma has got wavy blonde hair. | Emma is braver than Simge. |
| David | medium height, curly brown hair, clever, shy | David has got curly brown hair. | David is shyer than Emma. |
Notes on Comparisons:
- Use -er for short adjectives (e.g., short → shorter, tall → taller).
- Use more + adjective for longer adjectives (e.g., friendly → more friendly, creative → more creative).
- The comparison is usually made with another person mentioned in the table.
2. Correcting Mistakes in Sentences
Let’s analyze and correct the mistakes in the sentences below. If there is no mistake, put a tick (✓).
| Sentence | Mistake | Corrected Sentence |
|---|---|---|
| 1. He have got a long nose and he is more taller than me. | “have” → “has”, “more taller” → “taller” (taller already comparative) | He has got a long nose and he is taller than me. |
| 2. I has got brown eyes and curly hair. | “has” → “have” (with “I”) | I have got brown eyes and curly hair. |
| 3. This jumper is warmer than that hoodie. | ✓ (No mistake) | This jumper is warmer than that hoodie. |
| 4. They has got blue bags. | “has” → “have” (with “They”) | They have got blue bags. |
| 5. My cat have got green eyes and is more friendlier than yours. | “have” → “has”, “more friendlier” → “friendlier” | My cat has got green eyes and is friendlier than yours. |
| 6. Your ring is more beautifuler than mine. | “more beautifuler” → “more beautiful” or “more beautiful” (beautiful is long adjective, so “more beautiful”) | Your ring is more beautiful than mine. |
| 7. We have got big feet and longer toes. | ✓ (No mistake) | We have got big feet and longer toes. |
| 8. These trainers are more comfortable than the boots. | ✓ (No mistake) | These trainers are more comfortable than the boots. |
Summary of Common Mistakes:
- Use has with he, she, it; have with I, you, we, they.
- For adjectives ending with -er, do not use “more” before them.
- For longer adjectives, use “more” + adjective.
- Avoid double comparatives like “more taller” or “more friendlier”.
3. Summary Table
