V. ASSIGNMENT

Make a table composed of 3 rows and 21 columns and give at least 20 adjectives and write in the table their comparative and superlative degrees.

FOR DISCUSSION Tom and Jack, would you please stand up?
(To the whole class): Compare them in height.
S: Tom is taller than Jack.
Jack is shorter than Tom.
T: Good. How about the comparison of their weight?
S: Tom is heavier than Jack.
T: Take a look at Susan and Nancy. Compare the length of their hair.
S: Susan’s hair is longer than Nancy’s hair.
T (to S3): Tina, what time did you get to school this morning?
Tina: At 7:20.
T(to S4): How about you, Betty? What time did you get to school?
Betty: I got to school at 7:15.
T: Who was earlier this morning?
S: Betty was earlier.
T: Well, you have known how to use comparative degree to make a comparison between two persons or things.

Explain how the superlative degree is formed. Compare the formation of superlative degree with comparative degree.
T: We have already learned for adjectives that have less than two syllables, like tall and short, “er” is added to the adjectives for the comparative form. For the superlative form, as we will learn, we add “est” to the adjectives when we make a comparison among three or more persons and things. Call out three boys, Tom, Jack and Sam, who are different in height.
T: Look at them.
Tom is taller than Jack.
Jack is taller than Sam.
That is, Tom is the tallest of the three. Show a picture with a plane, a bicycle, and a car on it. Illustrate the comparative situation and elicit the correct response from students. Lead students to compare one with the other two using the adjective “fast.” The expected response would be, “The plane is the fastest.
2.Explain that when a one-syllable adjective end with the letter “e”, add –st.
Draw three balls which are different in size, and lead students to compare using
“large.Ball 1 Ball 2 Ball 3
The expected response would be, “Ball 1 is the largest.”
Eg. nice nicer nicest
3.Explain that when a one-syllable adjective ends with a short vowel + a consonant, we repeat that consonant and then add –est in the end.
Give three temperatures of three days, and lead the students to compare using “hot.”
May 1 -- 230 C May 2 -- 280 C May 3 -- 290 C
May 3 is the hottest.
Eg. thin thinner thinnest big bigger biggest wet wetter wettest sad sadder saddest
4.Explain that when a one-syllable or two-syllable adjective ends with a consonant + “y”, we change “y” into “i”, then add –est.
Show three tests, and lead students to compare using “easy. The expected response would be, “ Science test is the easiest.”
Eg. dry drier driest
` busy busier busiest pretty prettier prettiest
5.Explain that in the case of most two-syllable adjectives and all adjectives that have more than two syllables, we add “most” before the adjectives.
Show a picture with three balls. Lead students to compare using “expensive.

The expected response would be, “The basketball is the most expensive.”
