Read the Learn this! box. Match each highlighted phrase in the dialogue with a rule (a-f).

LEARN THIS! Comparative and superlative forms a. We often use a superlative with the present perfect. That's the biggest mansion I've ever seen. b. We use double comparatives to emphasise that something is changing. Property is getting cheaper and cheaper. c. We use The..., the... and comparatives to say that one thing changes with another. The closer you are to the centre, the more you pay in rent. d. We usually use more and most to form comparative and superlative adverbs. However, we add -er and -est to some short adverbs. The flat sold more quickly than I expected. Houses sell faster in the spring. e. Like more and most, we can use less and least with long adjectives, adverbs and uncountable nouns. This is the least spacious house in the road. There's less space in my room than in yours. f. We use fewer and fewest with countable nouns. Which flat has the fewest rooms? There are fewer big flats in the town centre.
