B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation of the Topic
This morning, we are going
to discuss about the degrees of
comparison.
 2. Discussion
Class, have you learned
before the degrees of
comparison? No ma’am!

Okay class, adjective has

three degrees of comparison
namely- the positive,
comparative and the superlative
degree.

Now, let’s have first the

positive degree.
Positive degree
*simply describe a person or a
thing.
- Can you give me an example of an Answers of students may vary.
adjective class?

- Correct! The examples you have

given class are also an example of a
positive degree of comparison.
Example:
Diane’s hair is long.
- Class, remember that positive
degree describes a noun or pronoun
without comparing it to anyone or
anything else.
Okay, let us move on to the second
degree of comparison which is the
comparative.
 Comparative degree
-comparison of two persons or
things.
-from the word itself compare,
meaning were going to compare
a person, objects or an item.
Example:
Jen’s hair is longer than Diane’s.

 Superlative degree
*comparison of three or more
persons or things.
Example:
Mikay’s hair is the longest among all
the girls.
- In the degrees of comparison, we
have also some rules to be followed.
First: For one-syllable adjectives, add
-er to form its comparative and -est to
form its superlative degrees.
Positive Comparative Superlative
degree degree degree
big bigger biggest
small smaller smallest
dark darker darkest

Example:
Kath’s bag is small.
Louie’s bag is smaller than kath’s.
Jaen owns the smallest bag.
Second: For two-syllable adjectives
ending in y, change y with i and add -er
to form its comparative and add -est to
form its superlative degrees.

Positive Comparative Superlative

degree degree degree
pretty prettier prettiest
healthy healthier healthiest
funny funnier funniest

Example:
My mother is pretty.
My sister is prettier than she is.
I am the prettiest among all girls in the
family.
Third: For two/more syllable
adjectives, add more to form its
comparative and most to form its
superlative degrees.
Positive Comparati Superlativ
degree ve degree e degree
beautiful more most
beautiful beautiful
delicious more most
delicious delicious
expensive more most
expensive expensive

Example:
A bicycle is expensive.
A motorcycle is more expensive than a
bicycle.
A car is the most expensive of all.
Fourth: Some adjectives irregularly
form their comparative and superlative
degrees by changing the spelling.

Positive Comparati Superlativ

degree ve degree e degree
good better best
bad worse worst

Example:
Kc has a good penmanship.
Jhon’s penmanship is better than Kc.
Among the three, Marie has the best
one.
