Adjectives are an important part of speech. They give us additional information about nouns. Let's look at how they work in English.

Sigrid looks at how the comparative and superlative forms of one- and two-syllable adjectives are created.

Here's a simple list of common, everyday adjectives in their positive, comparative and superlative forms, divided into groups to facilitate memorization.

Sigrid looks at the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives that have a "Y" or an "E" at the end, and also some that don't follow any pattern at all!

With longer adjectives, we have to add some extra words in order to form the comparative and superlative. Sigrid explains how.

Modal verbs are special verbs that go together with action verbs to indicate ability, permission, obligation and more. Let's see how they work.

Every modal verb is a bit different and not all of them can be used in all tenses. We use "may" for permission, but we can use "can" and its conditional form "could" as well.

When do we use "should" and "could"? At the end of the video, you'll also find a preview of the next 2 videos where modals are used in everyday speech for discussing probability.

The Biden administration announced a plan to provide a legal pathway into the country for more than 20,000 Venezuelan migrants. At the same time, thousands of others who enter the U.S. illegally will be sent back to Mexico.

There has been a mixed response to the new legal pathway that allows some Venezuelan migrants to enter the United States, while expediting the expulsion of others. Along with some praise and some criticism, there are calls for the new program to be extended to help migrants from other nearby nations.
