Present Simple game A and B students find the mistake andthen ask and answer the questions

Complete the text with the words in the box. Use each expression once. 
A typical error students make is with word order and much more. 
Highlight that when much more modifies a verb, it goes after the 
noun phrase: Students will enjoy much more the film club than 
before. (Correct form = Students will enjoy the film club much 
more than before.). Point out that when much more modifies 
an adjective or noun, it goes before the adjective or noun 
phrase: They replaced the computers with new ones much more 
expensive. (Correct form = They replaced the computers with 
much more expensive new ones.). Students also often make the 
mistake of adding at and/or the to the fixed phrase last but not 
least. At last but not the least, the publicity for the club is boring.
(Correct form = Last but not least, the publicity for the club is 
boring.). Another typical error is to use either just as or so … as
instead of as … as. I’m surprised as you. (Correct form = I’m as
surprised as you.). The candidates were not so experienced as I 
would like them to be. (Correct form = The candidates were not as
experienced as I would like them to be.).
