 A noun that names more than one person, animal, place or thing is called plural noun.

Poison Dart Frog

By Guy Belleranti
If you were a meat- eating jungle animal looking for a tasty snack, there is one you'd want to avoid
eating at all coasts- the poison dart frog!
Most poison dart frog species live in Central and South America. They came in a variety of bright
colours. Including yellow, gold , blue , red, green , copper and black. Their colours warn potential
predators to watch out!These frogs don‟t bite. They don‟t even have teeth.
Unlike most frogs, poison dart frogs are active during the day. Adult poison dart frogs do not live in
water instead, they live in the leaf litter and rocks of their rain forest habitat. A few species also live
high in the trees.
Like all frogs ,poison dart frogs start out as tadpoles and spend their early stages of development
in the water.
Adult dart frogs have long sticky tongues. Their tongues zip out quickly to catch the food they eat;
spiders, and small insects like flies, termites, ants, and centipedes.

Lesson Ten
Competency Level : 6.6- Uses adjectives appropriately –
Adjectives
Adjective is a word that describes noun or pronoun. There are three types of adjectives. They are positive,
comparative and superlative.
 Positive adjectives do not compare people, things or places.

eg. tall boy, huge tree, important place
In this lesson, we will learn about comparative adjectives.
Comparative adjectives.
We use comparative adjectives to compare two people, things or places.
eg. 1. tall taller eg.2. large larger
Hashan Ruvan
hippopotamus elephant
 Ruvan is taller than Hashan.
 Elephant is larger than hippopotamus.
 Let‟s see how comparative adjectives are formed.
Rule Adjective Comparative

1. For short adjectives add –er tall taller
2.If the last letter is „e‟ add only –r close closer
3.For the adjectives ending with „y‟, drop –y and add -ier healthy healthier
4. Short adjectives with CVC ( consonant +vowel+ consonant) big bigger

pattern , double the last letter and add -er
5.For long adjectives, add „more‟ before the adjective . beautiful more beautiful
6.Irregular adjectives form comparatives in different ways. bad worse

 When we make sentences, we use „than‟ after the comparative adjective.

Eg.1. Ruvan is taller than Hashan.
2. Elephant is larger than hippopotamus.
3. Your bag is more beautiful than my bag.
Activity 1
Write comparative form of these adjectives.
1. short …………………………..
2. nice …………………………..

Lesson Eleven
Competency Level-6.6 – Uses adjectives appropriately
 Adjective is a word that describes noun or pronoun.

 We use comparative adjectives to compare two people, things or places.
In this lesson, we will learn about superlative adjectives.
Superlative adjectives
We use superlative adjectives to compare one person, place or thing in a group ( more than two)
Black pencil is the shortest pencil. Yellow bag is the biggest bag.
Let‟s learn how we can make the superlative forms.
Rule Positive Comparative Superlative
1.For short adjectives we add–est to the tall taller tallest

adjective
2.We add -st when the adjective ends with „e‟ close closer closest
3. For the adjectives ending with „y‟, and drop healthy healthier healthiest
–y and add -iest
4.Adjectives with CVC pattern ( consonant + big bigger biggest
vowel+ consonant) double the last letter and
add -est.
5.Long adjectives add „most‟ before the beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
adjective .
6.Irregular adjectives form superlatives in little less least
different ways.
