RECAP
We have learned that a suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end
of a word and it changes the meaning of that word. It can help you figure out
the meanings of new words you encounter.
LESSON
Degrees of adjectives. First, let us define what adjectives are.
B. Development
(Pagpapaunlad) Adjectives are words that describe nouns (things, people, places)
Can you find the adjectives in these sentences?
1. The tall woman
2. The big car
3. He is happy.
4. The math problem is complicated.
5. He is a good painter.
6. The sock smells bad.
The underlined words describe only one person or one thing. They are in the
positive degree. For comparative degree, we compare two things. Read and
understand the given sentences.
1. The woman is taller than the girl.
2. The bus is bigger than the car.
3. The boy is happier than a man.
4. Division is more complicated than addition.
5. The teacher is better painter than the pupil.
6. The fish smells worse than the sock.

Verb “to be” is used before a comparative adjective.
“than” goes after a comparative adjective.
How did we come up with those answer?
1. The most typical comparative is the use of -er after an adjective like in the
example:
The woman is taller than the girl.
We simply add -er onto a regular adjective tall + er = taller
Example: short + er, loud + er, quiet + er, fast + er
2. Look at the next sentence.
The bus is bigger than the car.
The comparative adjective bigger is another case. The root word big is very
short, it has only 1 syllable. Always remember that if a word ends with
consonant, vowel, consonant (CVC), we need to copy the last letter of the word
which is g and add -er to make it bigger.
Example: hotter, fatter, sadder
3. Another case is the adjective ending in y like happy. The sentence is
The boy is happier than a man.
The word has 2 syllables. We change y into i and add -er. Example: Happier,
shinier, heavier, bumpier
4. Not all comparative adjectives have -er,. In the sentence. Example:
Division is more complicated than Addition.
If the adjective is long or have 2 or more syllables we use more or less before
the comparative adjective. The adjective complicated have 4 syllables (com-
pli-ca-ted). We do not add -er to long adjectives (2 or more syllables) except
for the words that end with “y”. Some 2 syllable adjectives add -er other do
not.
Example: more serious, more colorful, less difficult, less popular
5. Irregular adjectives – means not regular, we do not add -er or “more/less”.
Read the next sentence.
The teacher is better painter than the pupil.
The fish smells worse than the sock.
If we are going to put good and bad in comparative form the adjective good
was change into better, and the adjective bad was change into worse.
