Adjectives and Comparing

What are we learning today?

You will use adjectives, possessive adjectives and short comparisons.

Explanation

• Adjectives describe nouns: an interesting story, a fast runner.
• Some adjectives are opposites: fast and slow, interesting and boring.
• Possessive adjectives show who owns something: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.
• Short adjectives take -er to compare: fast, faster. Then use "than".
• Add -est for the best: the fastest. Longer adjectives use "more" and "most": more interesting, the most interesting.

Examples

1. Tobilay does her homework.
2. Darren is faster than Gareth.
3. This book is more interesting than that book.
4. Darren is the fastest runner.

Remember!

• Use "her" for a girl and "his" for a boy.
• Say "faster", not "more fast".
