Jane: I had a great time!

Father: I’m glad to hear that! Would you

like to tell me more about your trip?

Jane: Ok, the park is smaller than the other

park I’ve seen in Manila. I saw several
trees. Among the trees I saw, I was
fascinated the most with the Narra tree. It
was the oldest and the tallest tree in the
park! Its trunk and branch are bigger than
the trees in the school.

Father: Do you know the Narra tree is the

tree of the Philippines?

Everybody, read the sentence:

The mango tree is tall.

What is the noun in the sentence?

Correct. How many nouns are in the The mango tree, teacher.
sentence?
 Only one, teacher.
Yes, there is only one.

Now, how about the adjective? What is the

adjective in our sentence?
It is tall, teacher.
Yes, it is tall. Let us have another example:

The santol tree is taller than the mango

tree.

There are how many nouns in the sentence

now?
There are two, teacher.
What are they?

The santol tree and the mango

Good observation. How about the adjective tree, teacher.
in our sentence? What is the adjective for
our second example? Taller?

Very good. That’s correct.

We use adjectives to compare two or

more nouns.

We add -er to the adjective when we

compare two things.

Just like earlier, we used the word “tall”

because we only have one noun, but for
our second example, we used the word
“taller” (the word “tall” + er) to describe that
the santol tree is taller than the mango tree.

Eyes on the screen, let us read our third

example:

The coconut tree is the tallest among the

trees.

How many nouns are there in the

sentence?
Only one, teacher.
What is it?
 What is the adjective? Coconut tree, teacher.

Correct. When we compare more than two Tallest, teacher.

things, we add -est to the adjective.

The mango tree is tall. – Normal

The santol tree is taller than the mango

tree. – Comparative

The coconut tree is the tallest among the

trees. – Superlative

Tall - Normal
Taller - Comparative
Tallest - Superlative

Let us try the word “strong.”

How about its superlative form?
