Introduction

• What Are Adjectives?
• Adjectives are words that describe a noun (person, place, or thing). Sometimes, we use adjectives to compare two or more things.
• We use comparative adjectives to compare two things and superlative adjectives to compare three or more things.

Comparative Adjectives

• Definition: Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things.
• How to Form:
• For most adjectives, add “-er” to the end.
• If the adjective is long, use “more” before the word.
• Examples:
• Big → Bigger: The elephant is bigger than the dog.

• Tall → Taller: John is taller than Sam.

• Beautiful → More beautiful: The butterfly is more beautiful than the bee.

Superlative Adjectives

• Definition: Superlative adjectives are used to compare three or more things.
• How to Form:
• For most adjectives, add “-est” to the end.
• If the adjective is long, use “most” before the word.
• Examples:
• Big → Biggest: The elephant is the biggest animal in the zoo.

• Tall → Tallest: John is the tallest boy in the class.

• Beautiful → Most beautiful: The peacock is the most beautiful bird.

How to Compare Pictures Using Comparative and Superlative Adjectives:

• Look at Two Pictures:

1. Use comparative adjectives to describe how they are different.
2. Example: Show pictures of a small dog and a big dog.
   • “The big dog is bigger than the small dog.”

• Look at Three or More Pictures:

1. Use superlative adjectives to describe which one is the most extreme in size, shape, or appearance.
2. Example: Show pictures of a tall giraffe, a medium giraffe, and a short giraffe.
   • “The tall giraffe is the tallest.”

• Simple Comparisons:

1. If comparing two animals: “The lion is faster than the rabbit.”
2. If comparing three objects: “The sun is the brightest in the sky.”

Conclusion

• Using comparative adjectives (like bigger) helps us compare two things, while superlative adjectives (like biggest) help us compare more than two things. These words help us describe the world better and make fun comparisons! Practice comparing pictures using these adjectives to understand how they work.
