Activity #1: Lesson Recap – What are
these?

Good morning, class. As usual, we are

going to have a discussion for today, but
before we move onto today’s topic, let us
first retrace to one of our previous topics.

In the past, we have discussed nouns. Can (standard definition of nouns) words used
anyone here remind the class what nouns to identify a class of people, places, or
are? things, or to name a particular one.

Thank you, student. Essentially, nouns are

the names of anything. Let’s do a quick
exercise. I’m going to show you several
images and I want you to name them.

Car

Dog
 Batman/Superhero

Very good. It’s clear that you all have a

good grasp on nouns. Let’s do one more
object, but with a real one this time.
What is this piece of clothing that I am A jacket, sir.
wearing right now? (Points to jacket)
(Jacket can be substituted with different
object)

So, this is a jacket. How about what this

student is wearing? (Points to student’s It is also a jacket, sir.
jacket or object of the same kind)

So, I am wearing a jacket, they are also

jacket?

But we are both wearing jackets, how can (Students will list differences between

two jackets?

Before we start with our lesson, let’s do

one more activity, just like what we did
just now.

Activity #2: Highlight the Difference

I’m going to show you some more

images, and I want you to describe them
however you like.
 Example answers: Big, white, strong

Example answers: Tall, far, majestic

Example answers: Red, cute, chubby

So far, we looked at several things and

identified them, and just now we used
some words to describe them. With that,
can anybody among you guess what our Adjectives, sir
topic today is going to be about?

Very good. Today we are indeed going to

talk about adjectives.

Correct, we are indeed going to talk Adjectives - words that modify (describe)

definition of adjectives?

Thank you, student. As just stated,

adjectives are used to modify nouns. The
majority of the examples of adjectives
that we used today, such as the color of
objects, their size, and other qualities, are
actually only part of one type of adjective,
as there are several ways that adjectives
can modify nouns.

Hence, today we are going to talk about

not only adjectives, but also the different
types of adjectives. Please take some
notes as we go on, as we are going to fill
in this graphic organizer at the end of the
lesson.

Activity #3: Put into practice

(Students will be made to use the types of
adjectives in an example during
discussion)
1. Descriptive Adjectives - used to
Straight into it, this is the first type of illustrate or describe the qualities of a
adjective that we will discuss, which is the noun or pronoun of a sentence.
Descriptive Adjectives. Can anyone read Adjectives come in three forms, known as
the definition shown in front? degrees: absolute, comparative, and
superlative.
Thank you. This is the type of adjective
that we probably think of the most when
talking about adjectives. So, that includes
the examples we used earlier, such as (list
off answers from previous activity).

Let’s also discuss the degrees of

adjectives. Would anyone like to read the Good, better, best
examples? Bad, worse, worst

Thank you. Let’s move on to the next.
The second type of adjective we will be 2. Demonstrative adjectives -

Thank you. There are four demonstrative

adjectives, which depend on the
proximity, or the location of the noun
being modified, and whether the noun is The four demonstrative adjectives are
singular or plural. Can anyone read the this, that, these, those.
four Demonstrative Adjectives?

Thank you. Let’s put it into practice. From

Demonstrative Adjectives will you use to That

Why “that”? Why not “this”?

Because my classmate is far away from

just this classmate, but also the other
classmates here at the same time? Those

Why “those”? Can we not still use “that”?

Because my classmates are plural.
Very good. Let’s move on to the next one,
which is Numerical Adjectives. Can 3. Numeral Adjectives – determines the
anyone read the definition shown in number of the nouns present in any
front? sentence. The two kinds of Numerical
Adjectives are Cardinal and Numerical.
Thank you. As you can see, this has
something to do with numbers. So, let’s
discuss the difference between Cardinal
and Numerical. Tell me how many ducks
do you see in this image?
 Five, sir.

Yes, there are five ducks in this image.

The number five is a Cardinal number. We
use Cardinal numbers to specify the
actual number of things, or its quantity.

From left to right, which one of these

ducks is colored green? The second one, sir.

Correct, the second duck is colored green.

The word “second” is an example of an
Ordinal number. It refers to the order of
things.

Let’s talk about the next type of

Adjectives, but, because it is related to
this one, I want you to look at one more
image before I tell what it’s called. In
three seconds, can any of you tell me how
many ducks are in this photo.

were only a few earlier, you were able to
count them, right?

The words we used just now, such as,

Thank you. So instead of using actual

numbers to specify the quantity of
something, we can also use other words.

5. Interrogative Adjectives - used to

The next type of Adjective is called

interrogate nouns. The three
interrogative adjectives are what, which,
and whose.

forward. Does anyone know what
interrogate means?

Correct. These are used when asking a

question. Let’s quickly discuss when to
use each of the interrogative adjectives.

“What” is used for a non-defined set of

items, while “which” refers to a
predefined set of items. In other words,
we use “what” when there aren’t options
or choices to choose from, and we use
“which” when there are options to
choose from. For example, “what” is for
identification questions in a quiz, while
“which” is for multiple choice.

There is also “whose.” Can anyone guess

what this is used for?
Very good. Speaking of possession, the
next and last type of adjective we will be
discussing is called Possessive Adjectives.
Can anyone please read the definition
shown in front?
When asking who has possession of a
noun.
6. Possessive Adjective - shows the
possession nature of the noun to a
person or people in a sentence.

Thank you. In other words, we use

Possessive Adjectives to tell who owns
something.
