This afternoon's topic is

Adjectives Degrees of
Comparison.

A comparative adjective is a
word that is used to contrast
two things. It is used to
differentiate between two
things based on their size,
shape, color, or quality. The
suffixes "-er" or "more" are
commonly added to an
adjective to make comparative
adjectives.

Noun + verb + comparative

adjective+ than + noun.
The cat ran faster than the dog.
Please read the first sentence.
 The way we form comparative
adjectives depends on the
adjective!

For one-syllable adjectives, we

add ‘-er’ to the end to make the
comparative form.
Abstraction (e.g., old – older, hard – harder).

With short vowels, we double

the final consonant before
adding the ‘-er’.
(e.g., big – bigger, hot – hotter).

With adjectives ending in ‘-y’,

we add an ‘i’ before the ‘-er’.
(e.g., dry – drier, happy –
happier).

For two-syllable (or longer)

adjectives, we keep the
adjective the same but add
‘more’ in front (e.g., boring –
more boring). Most of these
adjectives end in ‘-ly’, for
example: carefully, efficiently,
recently, etc.

There are also some irregular

forms that don’t follow these
rules.

What are superlative

adjectives? Superlative adjectives are used
to describe an object that is at
Can you please read it? the upper or lower limit of a
quality (e.g. the tallest, the
smallest, the fastest, the
highest).

In other words, they describe

extremes. They are used in
sentences to compare three or
more nouns:

Noun + verb + the + superlative

adjective + noun.
Parrots are the noisiest birds
Can you please read the
in the jungle.
example?

To form superlatives, you need

to follow similar rules to those
above for making comparative
adjectives.
For one-syllable adjectives and
two-syllable adjectives ending in
Can someone read the rules for ‘-y’, we add –est to the end of
making superlatives using one- the adjective (e.g. old – oldest).
syllable adjectives?

With short vowels, we double

the final consonant before
adding the –est (e.g. big –
biggest), and with adjectives
ending in ‘-y’ we add an ‘i’
before the –er (e.g. friendly –
friendliest).

For two-syllable (or longer)

adjectives, we keep the
adjective the same but add ‘the
most’ in front (e.g. boring – the
most boring).

The irregular forms in

comparative adjectives are the
same for superlative adjectives.
So the superlative form of far is
(the) furthest, bad becomes the
worst, and good is the best.

Show a diagram on how to form

comparative and superlative.
Any Questions or clarifications
No ma’am
regarding the topic? That’s good
 to hear class.

Choose an adjective from each

sentence and determine the
degree of comparison to which
it belongs.
