PART 1: GRAMMAR REVIEW

1. Imperative with more and less.

- We can use the imperative for direct commands, orders or suggestions.
Ex: do more exercises; eat more fruit/ vegetables; sleep more
wash your hands more; eat less junk food; sunbathe less
2. Compound sentences
- When we want to join two ideas, we can link two simple sentences to form a compound
sentence.
- We can do this using a coordinating conjunction like: and (for addition); or (for
choice); but (for contrast); so (for result)
Examples:
- The Americans eat a lot, but they do not do enough exercises.
- Children do more exercise than adults, so they are more active.
