A.6. Review

Before we start to our new lesson, let’s

have a short review on our past lesson
that we discussed.
What was our lesson yesterday?

Very good! What is adjective again?

Our lesson yesterday is all about Adjectives.
Now, who can give me an example of
adjective? Adjectives is describing noun or pronoun.

Very good! All your answers are

correct. Big, Happy, Spicy, Old.

A.5. Motivation

Today, we are going to play a quick

game before we start our lesson. I have
three objects with me.
Look at these coconut fruits. Can you
tell me something about them?

Yes! They are orange. That’s a good

observation. But let’s focus on their The coconut fruits are orange.
sizes. Are they the same size?

Right! Now, let’s describe them using

adjectives. No.
Can you describe this coconut fruit?
(points to the smallest)
Very good! Now, let's compare this
coconut fruit to another one. (Points to This coconut fruit is small.
the medium-sized coconut fruit.) Who
can compare these two coconut fruits?

Excellent! Now, let’s compare all three

coconut fruits. Who can tell me which This coconut fruit is bigger than the other one.
one is the biggest?

Great job, everyone! Now, let’s look at That coconut fruit is the biggest! (Points to the
the words we used: "small," "bigger," largest coconut fruit.)
and "biggest." These words are called
adjectives, and today, we will learn
about how adjectives change when we
compare things. This is called the
Degrees of Comparison of
adjectives. Are you excited to learn
more?

But before that, let me introduce our

lesson objectives for today. Yes!
At the end of the lesson, learners are
expected to:
 a. Identify the degrees of
comparison used in the
sentences in terms of its
characteristics with 90%
accuracy.
b. Appreciate the importance of
using adjectives to describe
and compare things effectively
without any failure.
c. Use adjectives in sentences
correctly within 5 minutes.

B. Developmental Activities

B.1. Discussion

Alright, class! Now that we have seen

how adjectives change when we
compare things, let’s talk about the
three Degrees of Comparison of
adjectives. Are you ready?

Great! Let’s start with the first one: the

Positive Degree. This is the simple Yes!
form of an adjective. We use it when
we describe only one thing, without
comparing it to anything else. For
example: This mango is big.
Here, we are only talking about one
apple. The word "big" is an adjective
in its positive degree.
Can someone give me another
sentence using an adjective in its
positive form?

Very good! Now, let’s move on to the

Comparative Degree. We use this The car is fast.
when we compare two things. We
usually add "-er" to short adjectives or
use "more" before longer adjectives.
For example: This mango is bigger
than the other one.

Look at the word "bigger." It comes

from "big," but we added "-er" to
compare two mangoes.
Can you give a sentence comparing
these two mangoes using a different
adjective?

Excellent! Now, let’s talk about the

Superlative Degree. We use this when This mango is sweeter than that one.
we compare three or more things. We
usually add "-est" to short adjectives
or use "most" before longer adjectives.
For example: This is the biggest
mango of all.
Since we are talking about all three
mangoes, we use "biggest" instead of
"bigger."
Who can give another sentence using a
superlative adjective?

Great! Now, let’s summarize:

Positive Degree → describes one That is the tallest building in the city.
thing (big, sweet, fast).
Comparative Degree → compares
two things (bigger, sweeter, faster).
Superlative Degree → compares
three or more things (biggest,
sweetest, fastest)
Now that we understand the three
degrees of comparison, let’s practice
together. Are you ready?

Alright! Let’s do an activity!

B.2 Activity Yes!

Now that we have learned about the

three degrees of comparison, let’s
practice together!
I will divide the class into two groups.
Each group will receive sentence strip
with adjectives in different degrees of
comparison.

Instructions:
 Read each sentence aloud with
your group.
 Identify the adjective in the
sentence.
 Decide whether the adjective is
in the Positive, Comparative,
or Superlative Degree.
 Place the sentence under the
correct category on the board.
Presentation:
 After time is up, each group
will present one sentence, read
it aloud, and explain why the
adjective belongs to that
category.
Alright, let’s begin! Work together and
have fun!
Alright, class! Now that you have
sorted your adjectives, it’s time to
present your answers. Each group will
read one sentence, identify the
adjective, and tell us which degree of
comparison it belongs to. Let’s start
with Group 1.
 Hello, everyone! Our group’s sentence is:
(Reads aloud) “My bag is heavier than yours.”
The adjective in this sentence is “heavier.”
This adjective compares two things: "my bag"
and "your bag." Since it shows comparison
Great job, Group 1! Now, let’s hear between two objects, it is in the Comparative
from Group 2. Degree.

Good day, everyone! Our group received this

sentence: (Reads aloud) “This pillow is soft.”
The adjective in this sentence is “soft.”
Since we are only describing one thing and not
Great work, everyone! I’m so proud of comparing it, the adjective is in the Positive
how well you collaborated during the Degree.
group activity. You correctly identified
the adjectives and their degrees of
comparison. Let’s give ourselves a
round of applause!

C. Activity

C.1. Quick Quiz

Now that we have practiced together,

it’s time for you to apply what you’ve
learned on your own! I will give each
of you a worksheet with five
sentences. Each sentence has a missing
adjective.
You have 5 minutes to finish this.
Work quietly and check your answers
before submitting. If you have any
questions, raise your hand. Let’s
begin!

Instruction: Fill in the blank with the

correct form of the given adjective.
1. This cake is ______ than the one I
baked yesterday. (sweet)

the week. (cold)
5. coldest
D. Generalization

Alright, class! Let’s review what we

have learned today. Who can tell me
what our lesson was about?

We learned about the degrees of comparison of

Very good! What are the three degrees
of comparison? adjectives.
 Well done! So, to summarize: Positive, Comparative, and Superlative
 Positive Degree describes one Degrees.
thing.
 Comparative Degree compares
two things.
 Superlative Degree compares
three or more things.
Now, why do you think it is important
to learn about the degrees of
comparison?

Exactly! Understanding adjectives

helps us express ourselves better. So, we can describe and compare things
Great job today, class! Give correctly in our sentences.
