3. Do you prefer games you play on a team or games you play alone? Why?

Grammar rule

The five points of unit 8

Lesson	Form	Use	Example
36	the + comparative…, the + comparative…	two things change together	The closer we got to the city, the heavier the traffic became.
37	like + noun · as + noun	similar to · a role, a job, a use, a time of life	He eats like a bird, but he works as a chef.
38	Let's…, shall we? · I'm…, aren't I? · I'm not…, am I? · imperative + will you? / won't you?	suggest · check · request · invite	Let's take the stairs, shall we? Hold my coffee, will you?
39	everyone, news, -ics, the number of, one of, groups (American English) + singular verb · the police, people, a number of + plural verb	the right verb for tricky subjects	Everyone was quiet. The police were outside.
40	noun + noun · number + noun before a noun	a kind of thing · how long, how much, how old	a parking ticket · a ten-day cruise (The cruise lasted ten days.)

Five things to watch: the in both halves and one comparative (the easier, not the more easier); as for a real job or role, like after look, sound and be; shall we? after Let's and aren't I? after I'm; is after everyone and the news, are after the police and people; no s in the first part of a compound (a three-hour ride, a ticket office).
