Hello!
I was just wondering whether I have put the following pieces of vocab under the correct heading........
Compare (show similarities): Contrast(show differences):
as well as different from/to (poss. mention than)
at the same time unlike
both whereas
like however
same as on the other hand
similar to but
similarly yet
also faster, bigger, better (i.e. comparatives)
too
I know I have put comparatives in the contrasting words column but if I say, for example, "Jack is taller than John", I am showing the difference between them in height rather than the similarity, right???
How do I explain to students that comparatives belong in the contrast column (if this is in fact correct)?!!
Many thanks
