B. Lesson Proper:
1. Presentation:
Ask three of the pupils of different hair lengths to
stand in front of the class. Describe the length of
their hair using the degree of comparison of
regular verbs:
For example : Janes hair is long.
Annes hair is longer than Jeans.

(Write these sentences on the board.)

The adjective used in the first sentence

islong.
No sir.

Say: The first sentence simply makes a statement.

What adjective is used?

The adjective used in the second

sentence is longer

Sarahs hair is the longest among the three girls.

Is Janes hair being compared to anyone?

Now, look at the second sentence. What adjective
is used?
Is there any comparison made? Who are being
compared?
Very Good!

Yes sir. Annes hair was compared to

Janes hair.
The adjective used in the third sentence
is longest
Yes sir. Sarahs hair was compared from
the hairs of the two girls.

Take a look at the third sentence. What adjective

is used?
Is there any comparison made? Who are being
compared?
Very good!
Say: Long is an adjective in the positive form,
longer is an adjective in the comparative form.
Longest is an adjective in the superlative form.
When there is no person or things being
compared? What degree of adjective do we use?
When two persons, places or things are compared,

Positive degree.
Comparative degree.

Superlative degree.

what form of adjective do we use?

We add er for comparative and est for
the superlative.
When three or more persons, places, or thing are
being compared, what form of adjective do we
use?
Very Good!

????

Now, how do we write the comparative and

superlative form of adjective with one syllable
based on the example?
Very Good!
How about adjectives with two or more syllables?
(show pictures of bicycle, motorcycle and car.
Compare the three using an adjective with two or
more syllables) example: expensive
Write these on board:
The bicycle is expensive.
Motorcycle is more expensive than bicycle.
Car is the most expensive among the three
vehicles.
Now back to my question a while ago, how do we
write the comparative and superlative form of
adjectives with two or more syllables?
Very Good!
(show pictures of actresses ; Ai-ai delas Alas, Kris
Aquino and Anne Curtis. Compare the three using
an adjective that ends in y) for example: pretty
Write these on board:
Ai-ai delas Alas is so pretty.
Kris Aquino is prettier than Ai-ai delas Alas.
Anne Curtis is the prettiest of them all.
(Ask the pupils to observe how adjective that ends
in y wrote their comparative and superlative

We add more before the adjective for

comparative degree and most for the
superlative degree.

form)
*show the chart of how other adjectives formed
their comparative and superlative degree by
changing their spellings:
(post it on the board)
2.Eliciatation:
Have the pupils do the following:
Provide the correct degree of comparison of
adjectives in the parenthesis to complete the
following sentences.

Smith family.
3. They say that Disneyland is the (happy)
___________ place in the world.
4. Listening is (easy) ________ than reading.
5 Virus is (ill) _______ than bacteria.
3.Generalization:
What are the three degrees of comparison of
adjectives?

When do we use the positive, comparative and

superlative degree of the adjective?

C. Application/Engagement activity:
Bring Me Game
Show an object or thing and tell something
about it using an adjective in positive degree.

The three degrees of comparison of

adjectives are positive, comparative and
superlative degree.
We use the Positive degree of the
adjective when there is nothing to
compare. Comparative degree is used
when there is two person, place, thing
and animals being compared. And
Superlative degree when there are more
than two person, place, things and
animals being compared.

Then ask the pupils to bring a similar item that

resembles your items comparative and superlative
degree.
Example:
Say: I have here a small ball pen
(show the ball pen)
bring me its comparative form!(pupils will
bring a smaller ball pen)
Its superlative form! (pupils will bring the
smallest ball pen among the three)
