his watch. It was quite old, but he seemed to
treasure it.

“Lolo, your watch is already old. Don’t you
want to replace it with a new one?” I used to
ask him then. But he just smiled at me and
tapped my shoulders using his calloused big
hands.

When my grandfather died, we put the
watch in his casket and buried it with
him. My father said that it was my
Lola’s wedding gift to him. That’s when
I realized how important that old watch
is to my Lolo.
I hope you enjoyed the story.
Now, let us answer the following
questions.
1. Who owned the old watch?
Lolo owned the old watch.
Very good! You are correct!
2. Why is the watch important?
The watch was important because
it is a gift from Lola.

The SUPERLATIVE degree is used

TALENT (NSOT):
In the story,
 the words young, eldest, more tired,
and old show the degrees of
comparison of adjectives.
The POSITIVE degree is used when we are
simply describing a person or thing.
Example:
The ipil-ipil tree is tall.
The COMPARATIVE degree is used
when we are comparing two persons or
things. We usually add –er at the end of
the adjective or use word like “more”
before the adjective.
Example:
The coconut tree is taller than the ipil-
ipil tree.
The SUPERLATIVE degree is used
when comparing three or more persons
or things. We usually add –est at the
end of the adjective or use the adverb
“most” before the adjective.
Example:
The narra tree is the tallest of them all.
