2 We use adjectives to describe the noun. Adjectives add information about the noun. For example: The bag is beautiful. Shrek is green.

3 Sometimes we want to compare between people, or between animals or any other objects (cars, shoes,buildings etc.) and then we also use the adjectives. For example: The tallest man in the world.

4 1. When we compare between two people/things that are the same : Dana is as tall as Ronit. The spider is as big as a plate.

5 The rule : The noun+ as +adjective+ as + the other noun. The baby boy is as cute as his baby sister. The nouns are the same, they are equal. ( זהים, שווים בתכונה מסוימת ) as adjective

6 2. When we compare between two nouns that are not the same, one is more than the other- we use comparative adjectives. Tom is bigger than Jerry. Spelling rules 1. When the adjective has one syllable we add to it the ending er tall  taller 2. When the adjective has one syllable and it ends in consonant- vowel- consonant (CVC) we double the last consonant when adding er: big  bigger

7 3. When the adjective has two syllables or more we add the word more before it. The butterfly is more beautiful than the fly. 4. When the adjective ends with ly or y we omit the y and add ier: busy  busier lovely  lovelier. 5. When the adjective ends with e we just add r. large  larger.

8 3. When we compare between more than two people or things we use superlative adjectives. The rule: The noun + the verb+ adjective +est + rest of the sentence. He Pingping is the shortest man in the world.

9 Spelling rules 1. When the adjective has one syllable we add to it the ending est tall  tallest. 2. When the adjective has one syllable and it ends in consonant- vowel- consonant (CVC) we double the last consonant when adding est: big  biggest. 3. When the adjective has two syllables or more we add the words the +most before it. This is the most amazing performance I’ve ever seen.

10 4. When the adjective ends with ly or y we omit the y and add iest: busy  busiest lovely  loveliest. 5. When the adjective ends with e we just add st. large  largest.

11 Irregular Forms good  better than  the best bad  worse than  the worst

12 write a comparative sentence according to the picture: The tiger is faster than the turtle. The turtle is slower than the tiger.

13 write a comparative sentence according to the picture: The queen is more beautiful than the witch. The witch is uglier than the queen.

14 write a superlative sentence according to the picture: The snail is the slowest animal. The turtle is the fastest animal.

15 write a superlative sentence according to the picture: This is the biggest silver ring in the world. This is the most expensive silver ring in the world.
