Adjectives and Comparison

What are we learning today?

You will describe things, say who owns them and compare them.

Explanation

Adjectives describe things: a nice car, a small bike, an old phone, an expensive computer. Possessive adjectives show who owns a thing: my, your, his, her, its, our, their. They go before a noun. Words like "mine" stand alone. To compare short adjectives, add -er and use "than": short, shorter.

Examples

1. That is my dictionary. It's her laptop.
2. The book is mine.
3. My mum is older than my dad. Are you taller than me?

Remember!

• Say "her laptop", not "she laptop".
• Say "taller than", not "taller that".

Check yourself

1. Choose: "Is that ___ phone?" (you / your)
2. Complete: "You are ___ than me." (tall)
