Preguntas para practicar

Why is the cheetah considered the fastest feline?

The cheetah is the fastest feline because it can run up to 110 km/h in short bursts. Its lightweight body, long legs and flexible spine allow it to accelerate very quickly when hunting.

How can you compare two animals in English?

You can use comparative adjectives like bigger than, faster than or more intelligent than. For short adjectives add -er, and for long adjectives use more + adjective.
