E-Women Sustainable Digital Empowerment Program
Turn your passion into a successful business. This program will educate and train the women to be self-sufficient and to be able to compete better in their profession. This program will also work with Telehealth and bridges the gap to mental and physical health to ensure that women stay healthy and progress to acquire more sustainability for themselves and for their offsprings.
Women are home makers and while nourishing and ensuring the well being of their entire family, they often leave their careers to focus on their homes. For most women, it is difficult to focus on their careers while taking care of their homes. This eventually makes them loose their professional identities.
Program Objective
The e-women sustainable digital empowerment program aims at supporting and empowering women with focus on the leadership style to let them fulfil their dreams and turning them into full-fleged women-prenups with many lucrative opportunities
It is a 3 months online business startup program composed of 12 modules. each module is one hour based on motivation, manifestation, goal setting with hand on demonstration and worksheets for accountability.

The Adjectives
The Use of Comparative Adjectives
First we need to understand that there are three levels of adjectives. They are the adjectives, comparatives and superlatives.
Examples can be seen from the table below:
| The Adjectives | Comparatives | Superlatives |
| Big | Bigger | Biggest |
| Fat | Fatter | Fattest |
| Small | Smaller | Smallest |
| Good | Better | Best |
| Bad | Worse | Worst |
| Many | More | Most |
| Beautiful | More beautiful | Most beautiful |
| Interesting | More interesting | Most interesting |
Mastering the rules of the language
Please also note that we have the regular adjectives and the irregular adjectives. The regular ones follow the order of ”er” for comparative and ”est” for superlative. The irreglar adjectives don’t follow this order.
Examples of common errors with the use of comparative adjectives;
Driving is more easier than walking. This is wrong! The correct structure is ”Driving is easier than walking”.
Other common errors are;
- Peter is more smarter than his brother. “Peter is smarter than his brother” is the correct structure.
- Reading with my glasses is more better than reading without my glasses. Please note however that we have some irregular verbs that we use ”more” and ”most” for as shown in the table above.
