Presentation in English on the topic "degrees of comparison of adjectives". Presentation on the topic "Degrees of comparison of adjectives." Presentation in English comparative degree of adjectives

Adjectives in English have three degrees of comparison:

positive (the Positive Degree),

comparative (the Comparative Degree) excellent (the Superlative Degree).

The degrees of comparison of monosyllabic adjectives are formed by adding suffixes to adjectives in a positive degree: in the comparative degree, a suffix is added -er, superlative - suffix - est .

Listen, read and learn:

Warm - warmer - the warmest

Cold - colder - the coldest

Clean - cleaner - the cleanest

Kind - kinder - the kindest

Tall - taller - the tallest

In writing, the final consonant is doubled if a monosyllabic adjective ends in one consonant with a preceding short vowel:

hot-hotter-the hottest

big-bigger-the biggest

fat - fatter - the fattest

sunny - sunnier - the sunniest

happy - happier - the happiest

hungry - hungrier - the hungriest

messy - messier - the messiest

dirty - dirtier - the dirtiest

final vowel e(not mine e) goes down before the fixes - er , -est :

larg e - larg er - the larg est

white - whiter - the whitest

nice-nicer-the nicest

wide - wider - the widest

late - later - the latest

Polysyllabic adjectives form degrees of comparison by adding special words to the adjective in a positive degree:

the word is added in a comparative degree more, superlative word most .

If everything is clear to you, we suggest moving from theory to practice. Do some exercises on the formation of degrees of comparison of adjectives.

Exercise 1

Write adjectives in three degrees of comparison.

Noisy, nice, wide, green, deep, old, hot, fat, windy, merry.

Exercise 2

Exercise 3

Compare the animals. use the words: useful, clever, big, strong, beautiful, funny.

Ex: An elephant is bigger than a lion.

If everything is clear and understandable to you, test your knowledge and demonstrate to others. Take the comparative adjective test.

Choose the right letter.

Who is the cleverest animal?

a) dolphin c) hen

b) monkey d) penguin

2) Who is the biggest animal on the land?

a) camel c) giraffe

b) elephant d) cow

3) Who is the fastest animal on the land?

Degrees of adjectives comparison

Adjectives in English do not change in number or case, they change in degrees of comparison. This applies to quality adjectives. Relative adjectives do not have degrees of comparison.

slide 3

Degrees of comparison quality adjectives there are three in English: 1. Positive (positive). Adjective in its usual form. big - big 2. Comparative. Indicates that one object has a higher degree of quality than another. Formed with the suffix - er - Often used with the preposition than (than). bigger - more 3. Excellent (superlative). Indicates that the object has the highest degree of quality. It is formed using the suffix - est - the biggest - the biggest / largest

slide 5

For example:

low → lower → the lowest low - lower - the lowest red → redder → the reddest red - redder - the reddest tall → taller → the tallest older → the oldest

slide 6

Remember! (Remember!)

1. In adjectives with one syllable, the last letter is doubled and the suffix -er hot → hotter → the hottest is added

Slide 7

2. If the adjective ends in y with a preceding consonant, then y changes to i: busy → busier → busiest

Slide 8

3. If the adjective has two or more syllables, then in the comparative degree, more is used before it, and in the superlative - the most: beautiful → more beautiful → the most beautiful beautiful - more beautiful - the most beautiful difficult → more difficult → the most difficul difficult - harder - the most difficult

Slide 9

Some two-syllable adjectives can form degrees of comparison with the endings -er, -est, and with the words more, most / less, least. able - capable angry - angry clever - smart common - common, general cruel - cruel frequent - frequent friendly - friendly gentle - gentle handsome - solid, beautiful narrow - narrow pleasant - pleasant polite - polite quiet - quiet serious - serious simple - simple sour - sour

In English, there are 2 degrees of comparison:

comparative

excellent

They are formed in two ways:

suffix and compound.

The comparative degree is used to compare two or more items (concepts).

The superlative degree is used to single out one subject (concept) from all similar ones.

When comparing two objects (concepts), the union is used before the name of the second than(how) .

The Volga is longer than the Don.

The superlative adjective is always preceded by an article. the .

The Nile is the longest river in the world.

Suffixal way of forming degrees of comparison

In the comparative degree, the suffix is added to the adjective (adverb) –er ,

and in excellent – est .

This is how all one-syllable and many two-syllable adjectives and adverbs form degrees of comparison.

big-bigg er– the bigg est

narrow-narrow er– narrow est

Writing Features

The final vowel -e is not doubled when the suffixes -er and -est are attached.

safe-safer-the safest

The final consonants b, p, d, t, g, k are doubled if they are preceded by a short stressed vowel.

big-bigger-the biggest

Composite method of forming degrees of comparison

In the comparative degree, the adjective (adverb) is preceded by the word more, in excellent - the most .
This is how all adjectives and adverbs with more than 2 syllables form degrees of comparison.

beautiful - more beautiful -

– the most beautiful
