Grammar from units 4–6

Unit	Grammar	Example
4	comparatives, and as … as	The water is colder than at home. The waves are much bigger. It isn't as warm as at home.
5	superlatives	It was the best day of the trip. Lake Superior is the biggest lake in North America.
6	the present simple (habits) and the present continuous (now)	Usually, we work from six to six, but today we're taking a break.

Three things to watch: -er or more, never both (not more bigger); the before a superlative (not biggest lake); and the continuous for actions happening now or around now (this week), but not with verbs like know and want (not I am knowing).
