2. Presentation of the lesson

Our lesson for today is all about Degrees of

Adjectives
 3. Lesson Proper

May I request three girls to come here in front?

Three students go to the front of the class.
Describe the length of the hair of the first student.
Anne’s hair is long.
(Teacher writes the sentence on the board.)

Compare the length of the hair of the first girl to the

length of the hair of the second girl.
Sara’s hair is longer than Jane’s hair.
(Teacher writes the sentence on the board.)

Compare the length of the hair of all the three girls.

Jane’s hair is the longest among the three girls.

Look at the board.

(Students look at the board)
Let us analyze the sentences written on the board.
The first sentence simply makes a statement. It does
not make comparison. This is called the Positive
Degree of Adjective.

What is the first degree of adjective?

Positive Degree!
Very Good!

Now, look at the second sentence written on the

board.

Is there any comparison made?

Yes sir!
Very Good!

Who are being compared?

Sara and Jane sir!
Very good!

The second sentence shows comparison between two

objects or persons. The second degree of adjective is
the Comparative Degree.

Again, what is the second degree of adjective?

Comparative Degree!
Very good!

Let us proceed to the third sentence. Is there any

comparison made?
Yes sir!
Do you think there are more than two being
compared?
Yes sir!
The third sentence shows comparison of three or
more objects or persons. And the third degree of
adjective is the Superlative Degree.

What is the third degree of adjective class?

Superlative Degree!
Very good!

Read and study these following words. Observe how

adjective forms their comparative and superlative
degree.

(Students observe the words.)

Do you have any idea how these words form their

comparative and superlative degree?
Students’ answer may vary.
Very good!

Most one syllable and some of more than one

syllable adjectives form the comparative by adding
“-er” and the superlative by adding “-est” to the
positive.

(Teacher gives examples)

Bold
Deeper
Sweeter
Taller
Braver
Wiser

Can you cite any examples?

Very good! Students give examples.

When the positive degree ends in “y” and is

preceded by a consonant, the “y” is changed into “i”
before adding “-er” for the comparative and “-est”
for the superlative.
(Teacher gives example)
Busy
Happy
Noisy

Can you cite other examples of adjectives ending in

“y”?
Students give example.
Very good!

When the positive degree is a one syllable word and

ends in a single consonant, preceded by a short
vowel, the consonant is doubled before adding
“–er” for the comparative and “-est” for the
superlative.

(Teacher gives examples)

Big
Fat
Hot

Can you cite examples of one syllable adjectives and

ends in a single consonant?
Students give example.
Very good!

Can you give sentences using the degrees of

adjectives?
Students’ answers vary.
Do you have any questions class?
None sir.

4. Generalization

Again, what are the three degrees of adjective?

Positive Degree
Comparative Degree
Superlative Degree
Very good!

When do we use the positive, comparative,

superlative degree?
We use positive degree when making statements.

We use comparative degree when comparing

between two persons or objects.

We use superlative degree when comparing three or

more persons or objects.
Very good!
How are the comparative and superlative degrees
formed in one-syllable adjective?
Adjectives with one syllable form their comparative
degree by adding “-er” for the superlative degree “–
est” added.
Very good!

Now that you already understood the degrees of

adjective, let us have our activity.
