#Gramarama🌋 上一次講完superlative之後，諗起仲有一樣嘢大家喺comparative同superlative都會錯，就係唔知幾時用-er/-est同幾時用more/most。😂尤其睇西片嘅時候，啲演員同我哋用comparative/superlative嘅方法又可以同我哋唔同，咁究竟邊樣先啱呢？ - 嗱，我先講咗大部份香港人學comparatives同superlatives係點學先。如果1-syllable (一個音節)嘅adjectives就係用-er同-est, 好似”tall”, “short”, “fat”會變”taller”, “shorter”, “fatter”。 跟住end with -y嘅2-syllable adjectives , 例如: hap-py, ti-dy, 就會跟”-ier”變”happier”同”tidier”, 至於其他2-syllable字就會跟more同most, 所以”hand-some”, “po-lite”就會係”more handsome”同”more polite” 3-syllable或更多syllables嘅字就一定係用”more”同”most”, 例如beau-ti-ful, in-tel-li-gent, 就會係”more beautiful”, “more intelligent”。 最後一啲compound adjectives, 例如”well-known”同”good-looking”因為一定多於一個音節而會係跟”more”/“most”。 - 好啦，但其實grammar book學嘅係未必係全面，喺comparatives同superlatives嘅世界唔係一定會跟死一邊”-er”/“-est”或者”more”/“most”嘅rules。 好似好多2-syllable嘅字即使唔係-y尾嘅其實係可以跟”-er”, “-est”, 例如”politer”, “commoner”。除非係end with ”-ing”, “-ed”, “-ful”, “-less”嘅字就一定要跟”more”/“most”，當中尤其以一啲end with an unstressed vowel, /l/同/e(r)/嘅字(讀音而非串法)更常用”-er”同”-est”, 例如”simple”, “clever”同”quiet”就會係”simpler”, “cleverer”, “quieter”。不過好多時為咗簡化成件事，我哋就話2-syllable字唔好煩啦，跟”more”/“most”啦。 而3-syllable又end with -y嘅字其實都可以好似2-syllable又end with -y嘅字咁用”-ier”, 例如”untidier”, “unhappier”。 最後就係部份compound adjectives，例如”good-looking”其實可以寫成”better-looking”, “best-looking”，然後”well-known”又可以寫成”better-known”同”best known”。 - 講到咁複雜，只係想講大家學嘅grammar rules其實都有例外，所以有時聽到啲同自己學嘅嘢唔同嘅講法🤔，就唔一定係人哋錯。而覺得太複雜嘅其實只要記返你哋過往學嘅方法/grammar book就一定啱。😂尤其初中嘅同學唔好考grammar嗰時唔跟grammar book呀，保你唔住㗎我！🤡 Reference: Swan, M.

8 Little Things You Can Do To Be A Polite Person. 1. Always be polite and kind. - The 1st rule of etiquette is to practice it at all times. You can't be courteous, polite, and kind toward some people and not others. It could very easily lead to a reputation of being two-faced, which is the exact opposite of your goal. 2. Avoid gossip. - It can be hard to resist the allure of gossip, especially when something extraordinarily juicy happens. But polite people do not talk about others behind their back. Don't listen to gossip, and don't spread gossip. It's just that simple. 3. Courtesy counts. - An easy way to be more polite is to be courteous to everyone around you. Let someone cut in front of you in traffic, don't cut the que, don't steal someone else's parking, hold the door open for the person behind you, and think of others before yourself. These small acts won't put you out, and they will make positive impacts on countless people's days. 4. Don't judge others. - Being courteous extends past micro interactions. You need to remember to be conscientious of others, too. Remember everyone has their own struggles and motivation. When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 5. Give compliments. - part of positivity and being polite is also being liberal with compliments, so feel free to tell your friends how much you love their new haircut or their dress. It's the polite thing to do. 6. Learn how to do introductions properly. - introducing one person to another is something every polite person knows how to do. The most polite people don't only know how to introduce someone, they also know how to introduce themselves. 7. Radiate positivity. - you know what polite people also are? Positive. Speaking positively about yourself and the world, and having a smile on your face, will not only make you happier, it will also make those around you feel more at ease and comfortable. 8. Use polite phrases. - Honestly, being more polite can be just as easy as remembering two simple phrases: "Please" and "Thank you". . Being a kinder, more courteous person starts small. What is a step you would like to take to be a politer person?

@eunicelin151 : “When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them, because they show us the state of our decay.” - - - - - #portraitperfection #portraits_ig #portraitmood #portrait_shots #majestic_people #makeportrait #reasontoroam #featurepalette #sharpenmyfilm #stereocamera #stereocam #stereophotography #life_portraits #top_portraits #yourvisiongallery #dynamicportraits #quietthechaos #agameofportraits #portraitoftheday #postmoreportraits #寫真 #人像 #人像攝影 #samivid
