degree which is the simplest form of an
adjective.

The positive degree of comparison is used

to describe only one person, places, or
things.

Please identify the word used by Earthy to

compare her body to Wormy.

Now, who can tell me how comparative
degrees of adjective are formed?
Very good!

the class)

Comparative degree of adjectives are

formed by adding er or more/less.
Lance is tall/short.
(Teacher call another pupil to stand in front

of the class)
Icee, can you please compare Troys height
to Lances using the comparative degree of
adjective?
Troy is taller/shorter than Lance.
Very good!
Lances eyes are bigger than Troys.
Clauie, can you please describe Lance and
Troys eyes using the comparative degree of

Now, lets go back to the dialogue of my

three best friends.
longest body in this garden.

Sandy used it to compare her body to
Wormy and Earthy?
The word long was added with est.
How about this sentence.

for me.

volcano for me.

volcanoes?
The word added is most.
We can also use least to compare a person or

thing to other objects.

For me, action movies are the least
interesting
of all the movies.

interesting of all the movies.
Intersting.
What is the adejective?

Now, lets read the sentences again.

I have the longest body in this garden.
Mayon Volcano is the most majestic volcano
for me.
I have the longest body in this garden.

Mayon Volcano is the most majestic
volcano for me.

The words longest, most majestic and least

interesting are adjectives in a superlative
degree.
Who can tell me how superlative degrees of
adjectives are formed?
Superlative degrees of adjectives are

formed by adding est and most/least.
How can we say that it should be er or est

that we have to add and not more/less or
most/least?
-er or est is added to one syllable

adjective while more/less or most/least is
added to other adjective.
e. Values Integration
Going back to the dialogue of my best
friends, what do you think will happen if
they will always compare themselves to
each of them?
So there will always have a conflict
between them, right?
So what can you say to my three best
friends so they will not argue?
f. Generalization
What are the degrees of comparison?
How are the comparative and superlative
degrees formed in one-syllable adjective?
How about those words with two or more

syllables?
They will always argue.

They will fight.
Yes, maam.
Be contented with who and what you are.
Be true to yourself.
Be humble.
Dont compare yourself to other because
God made you special in His own way.
The degrees of comparison are adjective,
comparative and superlative.
Adjectives with one syllable form their
comparative degree by adding er, for the
superlative degree, -est is added.
Adjectives with two or more syllables form
their comparative degree by adding more,
for the superlative degree, most is added.
