Unit 3: Having Fun in the Seasons
Summary: Having Fun in Autumn
Key points
- In autumn, Tunisian pupils go back to school and meet their friends.
- Many families pick olives in October and November.
- The weather is cooler, cloudy and windy, and the rain comes back.
- We ask: What’s the weather like? and answer: It’s + adjective.
- We compare two things with a short adjective + -er than: colder than.
Rules to remember
Comparative
short adjective + -er + than: November is colder than October.
Spelling
hot ➡️ hotter, wet ➡️ wetter (double); windy ➡️ windier, sunny ➡️ sunnier (y ➡️ ier).
The weather question
What’s the weather like? — It’s cloudy and windy.
How to do it
- Choose the adjective (cold, warm, hot…).
- Add -er (double the letter or change y to ier if needed).
- Write than.
- Write the second thing you compare.
Example
In January, Aïn Draham is colder than Tunis.
Common mistakes
- *more cold* ➡️ colder
- *hoter* ➡️ hotter
- *warmer that* ➡️ warmer than
