1. What are comparatives and
superlatives?
We use comparatives and superlatives to say how people
or things are different. We use a comparative adjective to
express how two people or things are different, and we use
a superlative adjective to show how one person or thing is
different to all the others of its kind. For example,
2. Comparative adjectives enable us to
express the difference between two
people or things. In order to say that
someone or something has a
superior quality, size, or
characteristic, you need to use
‘more’. Instead, when you want to say
that someone or something has an
inferior quality, size, or
characteristic, you must use ‘less’.
This house is bigger than that one.
This flower is more beautiful than that.
He is taller than Mr. Hulas.
He is more intelligent than this boy.

one in terms of being beautiful.

16. 02: Task grouping
Once we have the list of tasks, the next step is to group them according to:
Subject Type of task
For example: Sending or answering emails, researching, studying, making
outlines or summaries, solving exercises, doing homework or chores, or
appointments
17. 03. Setting time frames
Once we have the tasks grouped together, it's time to estimate how long each
activity will take individually and, based on this, how long each group of tasks
will take
18. 04. Revision of the week’s
schedule
Now we review the week's schedule to see how much time we have available and,
above all, to take into account foreseen commitments and appointments
For example: going to the dentist, extracurricular classes, or family gatherings
The idea is to combine the schedule with a calendar in which to write down these
commitments and dates and review it at the same time as the week’s schedule
19. 05. Creating blocks of tasks
Taking our previously set time frames into account, as well as commitments
and appointments, we will place our task groups in their corresponding places
in the schedule
20. 06. Second revision
01
It is important to make sure that
each group of activities has enough
time allocated for their completion,
so we need to be realistic at
this point
02
If we see that a group of tasks
requires a long time, we can divide
it into smaller blocks
21. 07. Establishing priorities
Finally, it's time to indicate the priority of each task in our weekly schedule, keeping in
mind that unforeseen events may come up. Especially on days when we don't have much
time, we can distinguish between:
01
Urgent and important
tasks
02
Urgent but not important
tasks
22. 07. Establishing priorities
However, on days where we do have enough time, we can change the priorities
to make sure we keep working on important tasks in the long run:
01
Urgent and important
tasks
02
Important but not urgent
tasks
23. 08. Final evaluation
At the end of the week, it is time to evaluate the schedule and our
achievements in order to make the appropriate adaptations when drawing up
the following week's schedule
