How to Read the Table

For rows with numbers (e.g., Temperature), the highest number indicates the warmest location, while the lowest number indicates the coolest.
For rows marked with asterisks, more asterisks signify more attractions or better food.

Superlatives - Examples

Flight: The flight to Laguna is the shortest.
Temperature: Montello is the hottest.
Rainfall: Montello is the wettest.
Distance from the airport: Montello is the nearest to the airport.
Hotel price: The hotel in Montello is the cheapest.
Interest: Laguna is the most interesting place.
Food: Montello has got the best food.

Definition: A comparative compares two things (e.g., hotter, colder). A superlative states which of several things is the most... (e.g., hottest, coldest).

Exercise: Complete the sentences (Solutions)

The flight to Laguna is the shortest. (long / short)
Bluepool is the coolest. (warm / cool)
Montello is the driest. (wet / dry)
Bluepool is the farthest from the airport. (near to / far from)
The hotel in Montello is the cheapest. (cheap / expensive)
Laguna is the most interesting place. (interesting / boring)

Using the Opposite Adjective

Sometimes we want a sentence with a word, and its opposite in parentheses. For example:

The flight to Montello is the longest. (Opposites: long / short)

Additional examples (fill in):

It's freezing. (use a different adjective) — e.g., It's cold.

Describing Images and Identifying the Subject

When describing an image, first identify who or what is performing the action — this is the subject.
Examples: In an image, this could be "a girl", "a boy", or "a family". The subject usually appears at the beginning of a sentence.

Definition: The subject is the person or thing performing the action in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "The girl swims," the subject is "The girl."

Try describing the images with simple sentences in English or Czech, and identify the subject:

Image 1: __________________ (subject: ___________)
Image 2: __________________ (subject: ___________)
Image 3: __________________ (subject: ___________)

Final Tip: When comparing destinations, first consider what's important to you (weather, price, food, distance), and choose accordingly.
