    Very useful activities, thank you! I notice there are no songs… I would suggest you to include “Accidentally in Love” :)

  6. alexcase says:

    Good point. I moved all the comparative ones and superlative ones to their own pages, leaving none here… Any ideas for songs with both comparative and superlative, anyone?

  7. alexcase says:

    Could only find one decent one with both, from Rockin’ English, just added.
