5. Review

Let’s play a game. Who loves to play a game? Let’s play

Doraemon is fishing! Are you ready?

(The teacher will present the game and explains the rules of it.
Whoever answers correctly will get the reward.)

Now let us read these words again.

(The teacher will let the students read the words)

1. sad 6. poor
2. strong 7. pretty
3. scared 8. rich
4. sweet 9. round
5. soft 10. tall

These words are called “ADJECTIVES.”

Who can recall what an adjective is?
That’s correct! Everybody let us read together.

Adjectives are describing words. They describe persons,

place, or things. In short, they describe nouns. They also
describe pronouns.

Since you already know what an adjective is. Today, we are

going to learn about “DEGREES OF ADJECTIVES”
(POSITIVE, COMPARATIVE, AND SUPERLATIVE)

(The teacher will present the learning objectives to the pupils.)

B. Establishing Motivation
the Purpose The teacher will show the poster of the movie frozen and
of the Lesson present a video clip with a song about adjectives in the tune of
“Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?”
Have you watched the movie “Frozen”?

Search:
Title: Do you wanna Learn about adjectives (educational song
for kids) by Hayley Sims.

(The students will spell and write the adjectives on the board. 2
The teacher will present the adjectives mentioned in the song.)

C. Presenting Presentation
Examples/
Instances of I have here three sentences. Let’s read them.
the New
Lesson 1. Olaf is short because his height is only 40 inches.
2. Mickey Mouse is short because his height is only 38
inches.
3. Hello Kitty is short because her height is only 35 inches.

What adjectives did we use in the sentences?

Integration of Mathematics 1,2

(Subtracts mentally: 1- to 2-digit numbers without and with
regrouping)

This time if we are going to compare Olaf to Mickey Mouse who

is shorter? Why?

How many inches taller is Olaf compared to Mickey Mouse? So,

to know this we just need to subtract their height.

The teacher will demonstrate the solution on the board.

40 – Olaf’s height
- 38 – Mickey’s height
2
Now, let’s compare Mickey and Hello Kitty.
Who is shorter? Why?

 How many inches taller is Mickey compared to Hello

Kitty? How did you know?
 Let’s compare Olaf and Hello Kitty. Who is shorter?
Why?
 How many inches taller is Olaf compared to Hello
Kitty? How did you know?
 At this moment, let us compare them all. Among the
three of them. Who is the shortest?

DepEd Order No.42, s.2016

1. Positive Degree – shows no comparison.

Example:
The strawberry is big.

Manny is strong.

Integration of Science (Classify according to body parts and
use. State the importance of animals to humans)

2. Comparative Degree – is used to compare two nouns or

pronouns.
 we add – er to the adjective to show comparison. The
word “than” is placed after the adjective.

Example: fast - faster

A cheetah is faster than a horse.

tall - taller

The giraffe is taller than the tree.

 Add the word “more” before adjectives with two or more

syllables.
Example: beautiful - more beautiful

Ariel is more beautiful than Fiona.

Integration of Araling Panlipunan 1

(Natatalakay ang kahulugan ng ilang simbolo at sagisag ng
sariling lalawigan at rehiyon)

3. Superlative Degree – is used to compare more than two

nouns or pronouns.

 We add – est to the adjective to show comparison. The

word “the” is placed before the superlative adjective.

Example: small - smallest

The Philippine tarsier is the smallest

animal in the Philippines.

high - highest

Mt. Apo is the highest mountain

in the Phillipines.

tall - tallest

Sacred Heart of Jesus is the tallest

 If a one-syllable ends in a single vowel letter followed by

a single consonant letter, the consonant letter is

 When adjectives end in – e, we add only – r and – st to

the adjective.

Insert image of large larger largest

 if an adjective ends in a consonant followed by – y

change -y to -I and add -er/-est.

Insert image of dry drier driest

 adjectives which have two or more syllables always form

the comparative and superlative with more and most.

POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE

useful more useful most useful
beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
dangerous more dangerous most dangerous
exciting more exciting most exciting
