Developing Communicative Skills - COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVE (Year 5)

With the following presentation we will practice COMPARATIVE ARTICLES in our English lessons. They are some games for practicing questions and answers, we pretend to develop our students fluency and vocabulary. 

They are not needed to use in the same lesson, you can practice one or a part of one of them. 

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM AND LEARN.

Comparative Adjectives

In one of our past topics we were talking about ADJECTIVES and how to use them. This time we will look about HOW TO COMPARE THINGS using adjectives. We are going to study COMPARATIVES.

• The regular adjectives we add -ER at the end: FAST-FASTER.
• If the adjectives finishes with -Y we will change it into an -I and -ER:  PRETTY  -   PRETTIER.
• If the adjective has the structure Consonant -Vowel -Consonant, we have to double the last consonant: BIG  -  BIGGER.
• If the adjective has more than two syllables we add MORE: BEAUTIFUL - MORE BEAUTIFUL.

Also we have irregular adjectives we should learn it by heart: GOOD - BETTER  /  BAD - WORSE.

In the following website you will find more info about their use and how to create them.
