2. Teaching/Modeling
Kindly listen as I read to you a dialogue entitled “The
Big Salukara.”
Salukara is a native delicacy or kakanin of Eastern
Samar particularly in Llorente.
The Big Salukara
Noli: I hope Mother comes soon. She will bring home
something for us.
Eric: I know what it will be – a big salukara.
Noli: Here comes Mother.
Eric: Mother, what do you have for us?
Mother: A big salukara. Here, go to the kitchen and
divide it between the two of you.
Noli: I’m bigger. I should be the one to divide it.
Eric: But you always get the larger piece.
Noli: I’m older than you. I need a larger piece.
Mother: Give me the salukara. I’m going to divide it
What did Mother bring home to the boys?

Who wanted to divide the salukara?

Why did Noli want to divide the salukara?

Who is older, Noli or Eric?

Why did mother decide to let herself divide the

salukara?

Values Integration
At home, if your parents will bring you food, it is
important to share it equally with your siblings to
avoid jealousy. Likewise, here in school, if you have
food more than enough for yourself, don’t forget to
share it with your classmates.
Let’s go back to the dialogue that I have read to you
earlier. Here are sentences found in the dialogue.
Noli is older than Eric.
Noli is bigger than Eric.

In the sentences, Noli and Eric are being compared.

The adjectives used to compare Noli and Eric are older
and bigger. Older and bigger are in the comparative
form. A big salukara

Regular Adjectives are adjectives which form their

comparative and superlative forms by adding –er and – Noli
est.

Comparative Adjectives are adjectives that compare Because he is bigger than Eric
two nouns. The comparative form of regular adjective
is formed by adding –er to the adjectives, e.g., long +
er = longer. Noli

Superlative Adjectives are adjectives that compare

more than two nouns. The superlative form of regular
adjectives is formed by adding –est to the adjectives, So that the two boys will have equal share of the
e.g., long+ est = longest. salukara.

Other examples:

Positive Comparative Superlative

high higher highest
wise wiser wisest
short shorter shortest

Here are some things to remember in using

comparative and superlative adjectives:

1. The comparative forms of adjective are always

followed by than.

Examples:
Noli is taller than Eric.
Bikes are cheaper than cars.

2. The superlative forms of adjective are always

preceded by the.

Examples:
Alamag Falls is the highest falls in Llorente E.
Samar.
My mom is the kindest person I know.

Now, I am going to compare a bicycle to a motorcycle

using the adjective slow and fast.

1. A bicycle is slower than a motorcycle.

The adjective is slow, we added –er and than to make

it comparative. It becomes slower than.

2. A motorcycle is faster than a bicycle.

The adjective is fast, we added –er and than to make it

comparative. It becomes faster than.

These examples are comparative adjectives.

Now, I am going to compare three vehicles- a bicycle,

a motorcycle, and a car using the adjective slow and
fast.

1. The bicycle is the slowest of the three

vehicles.

The adjective is slow, we added –est and it is preceded

by the. It becomes the slowest.
 2. The car is the fastest of the three vehicles.

The adjective is fast, we added –est and it is preceded

by the. It becomes the fastest.

These examples are superlative adjectives.
