B. Lesson Proper
a. Activity

-The teacher will ask students to read the sentence given in the board.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, PLEASE READ THE SENTENCE IN THE BOARD

Describe the length of their hair using the degree of comparison of regular verbs:

Example: Kinah’s hair is long.

S1: Angel’s hair is longer than Kinah’s.

S2: Chabelita’s hair is the longest among the three girls.

say: The first sentence simply makes a statement. What adjective is used? Is Jane’s hair
being compared to anyone?

Now, look at the second sentence. Is there any comparison? Who is being compared?

Take a look at the third sentence, is there any comparison made?

Say: Long is an adjective in the positive form, and longer is an adjective in the comparative
form. Longest is an adjective in the superlative form.

When two persons, places, or things are compared, what form of adjective we use? When
three or more persons, places, or things are being compared, you use the superlative degree
of the adjective. Now,

b. Analysis

The teacher will ask questions to the students.

1. What did you observe about the activity?

It’s all about comparing person’s hair.

c. Abstraction

The teacher will discuss the lesson about the Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives.

a.) What are the three degrees of comparison of adjective?

In English grammar, there are three degrees of comparison and they are,
 Positive Degree of Comparison.
 Comparative Degree of Comparison.
 Superlative Degree of Comparison.
b.) When do we use the positive, comparative, superlative degree?

An adjective can exist in three forms – positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form
is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some
quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree base on the adjective.

c.) How are the positive, comparative and superlative degrees formed in one-syllable
adjective?

Positive Adjectives

"Positive degree" is a term that relates to adjectives and adverbs. An adjective or adverb that
does not make a comparison is said to be in the positive degree. (In other words, the "positive
degree" is the normal form of an adjective or adverb.)

The positive degree of an adjective or adverb offers no comparison. For example:

 adjectives: rich, pretty, handsome, good

Comparative adjectives

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify
(larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in
this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

Examples

 My house is larger than hers.

 This box is smaller than the one I lost.
 Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
 The rock flew higher than the roof.

Superlative adjectives

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a
quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where a
subject is compared to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

Examples

 My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.

 This is the smallest box I've ever seen.
 Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
 We all throw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the highest. ("of all the rocks" is
understood)

d.) What do you call the degree of adjective formed by adding -er or -est?

Comparative Degree ends with -er and the Superlative Degree ends with -est

C. Application

-The teacher will ask student about the discussions

1. What is positive degree of comparison?

2. When do we use -er?

3. When we use -est?
