Use adjectives to compare

Key Notes :

🌟 Use Adjectives to Compare 🌟

What are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe a noun (a person, place, or thing).

Example:

• 🌳 The tree is tall.
• 🐶 The dog is friendly.

Tip: Adjectives tell how something is.

Comparing Two Things

We use adjectives to compare two things using -er or more.

Short adjectives (usually 1 syllable) → add -er

Example:

• My bag is heavier than yours. 🎒💼
• This apple is smaller than that one. 🍎🍏

Long adjectives (2 or more syllables) → use more before the adjective

Example:

• Today is more beautiful than yesterday. 🌞🌈
• She is more careful than her brother. 👧👦

Comparing Three or More Things

We use the superlative form to show the highest or lowest degree.

Short adjectives → add -est

Example:

• This is the tallest building in the city. 🏢🏙️
• My dog is the fastest runner. 🐕💨

Long adjectives → use most

Example:

• She is the most intelligent student in the class. 🧠📚
• This is the most expensive toy in the shop. 🧸💰

Rules to Remember

One-syllable adjectives → -er / -est

• tall → taller → tallest

Two-syllable adjectives ending in y → -ier / -iest

• happy → happier → happiest

Other adjectives → use more / most

• careful → more careful → most careful

Fun Tip! 🎉

You can play a comparison game in class:

Show 3 pictures (e.g., apples 🍎, oranges 🍊, bananas 🍌).

Ask students to use adjectives to compare:

• This apple is bigger than the banana.
• The orange is the smallest.

✅ Remember:

• Comparisons make your sentences more interesting!
• Always check if you need -er/-est or more/most.
