There are three degrees : Degrees of adjectives There are three degrees : -Positive: The car is fast. (no comparison here) Comparative: My car is faster than yours.(for comparing two nouns ) -Superlative: My car is the fastest of all (for comparing three or more nouns)

-Comparative degree Examples: tall  taller low  lower -Add the suffix –er to one-syllable adjectives Examples: tall  taller low  lower smart  smarter Add the suffix –er to two -syllable adjectives ending with ´y´. But first drop the ´y´, change it to ´i´ and then add –er . Examples: busy busier angry angrier easy easier

Use the word ´´more´´ for two or more than two-syllable adjectives Examples: More modern More beautiful More convenient More expensive

Sample sentences For the comparative degree: Johny is taller than Peter. Grammar is easier than Math. BMW cars are more expensive than Toyotas.

Semi-controlled Practice A- Write the correct form of the adjective in parentheses 1-The Eiffel Tower is________________ than The Leaning Tower of Pisa. (High) 2- Justin Bieber ________________ than Eminen .(talented) 3- Apples are __________________ than French Fries. (healthy) B- Answer these questions in complete sentences 1- Is Darien smaller than Herrera? 2- Is Decameron better than Playa Blanca? 3- What cartoon is funnier, The Flinstones or the Pink Panther ?

Using the superlative degree (comparing three or more nouns) Add the suffix -est to one–syllable adjectives Examples: Slow  slowest Fast  fastest Cheap  cheapest

pretty  prettiest heavy  heaviest Examples: Add the suffix –est to two syllable adjectives ending with ´y´ First drop the ´y´, change it to ´i´ and then add –est Examples: sticky  stickiest pretty  prettiest heavy  heaviest

Use the word ´´most´´ for two or more than two-syllable adjectives Examples: spectacular  most spectacular interesting  most interesting professional  most professional

Sample Sentences Superlative degree 1- Elephants are the heaviest mammals in the world. 2- Rolex is the most expensive wrist watch brand in the market. 3- This swimming pool is the deepest in the hotel.

SEMI-CONTROLLED PRACTICE Answer these questions in complete sentences. Who has been the greatest boxing champion in Panama ? What is the best place to grow strawberries in Panama? What is the biggest province in Panama ? Is Chiriqui the most crowded province of all ?
