3. Motivation
I have here stick puppets of three girls. They are Myra, Jen,
and Lani. Now, observe the lengths of their hair.

Myra Jen Lani

Whose hair is longer, Myra’s or Jen’s?

Jen’s hair is longer than Myra’s.
Who has the longest hair?
Lani has the longest hair among the three
girls.

So we have compared the hair length of the three girls. And

the adjectives we used in comparing are longer and longest.
What forms of adjective are these words?
Comparative and Superlative Forms of
Adjectives
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Today, we are going to learn about Using Comparative and
Superlative Forms of Regular Adjectives.

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to learn how to

compare nouns using comparative and superlative forms of
regular adjectives. And how to write sentences using
comparative and superlative forms of regular adjectives.

2. Teaching/Modeling
Kindly listen as I read to you a dialogue entitled “The Egg
Pie.”
The Big Pie
Noli: I hope Mother comes soon. She will bring home
something for us.
Eric: I know what it will be – a big pie.
Noli: Here comes Mother.
Eric: Mother, what do you have for us?
Mother: A big pie. 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 pie. I’m going to divide it.

What did Mother bring home to the boys?

A big pie
Who wanted to divide the pie?
Noli
Why did Noli want to divide the pie?
Because he is bigger than Eric
Who is older, Noli or Eric?
Noli
Why did mother decide to let herself divide the pie?
So that the two boys will have equal share
of the pie.
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.

Regular Adjectives are adjectives which form their

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

Comparative Adjectives are adjectives that compare two

nouns. The comparative form of regular adjective is formed
by adding –er to the adjectives, e.g., long + er = longer.

Superlative Adjectives are adjectives that compare more

than two nouns. The superlative form of regular adjectives
is formed by adding –est to the adjectives, e.g., long+ est =
longest.

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:
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the
world.
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.

Now, I have here list of adjectives and I am going to use

them in a sentence. (smarter, younger, and sweetest)

1. Karen is smarter than Ana.

2. Lino is younger than Ace.
3. Snow White is the fairest princess of them all.
4. The owl is the wisest animal among the three.

3. Guided Practice

Now, let’s have a board activity.

Direction: Underline the correct form of adjective inside

the parenthesis to complete the sentence.

1. Solomon is the (wiser, wisest) king of all. 1. Solomon is the (wiser, wisest) king of

3. Ryan said, “Mathematics is the (harder, hardest) subject. 2. Cakes are (sweeter, sweetest) than
4. The Earth is (larger, largest) than the moon. candies.

4. The Earth is (larger, largest) than the

5. Jupiter is the (bigger, biggest) planet in
our solar system.
