1.Presentation of new material

     T.: Today we are going to learn about the degrees of comparison of adjectives.

 You often add the before the superlative form.

For example, you say:

 Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

 Peter is the tallest boy in his class.

 The word than is often used with comparative adjectives. For example, you might say:

 Jack is taller than John.

 A sports car is faster than a motorbike.

> With adjectives that end in -e, add -r to form the comparative, and -st to form the superlative.

 For example:

 close - closer - closest

 large - larger – largest

> Some adjectives have only one syllable, end with a consonant, and have a single vowel before the consonant. With these adjectives, double the last letter before adding -er to form the comparative, and -est to form the superlative. For example:

 big - bigger - biggest

 dim - dimmer - dimmest

> Some adjectives have two syllables and end in -y. With these adjectives change the y to i. Then add -er to form the comparative, and -est to form the superlative. For example:

 busy - busier - busiest

 dirty - dirtier - dirtiest

 More / Most

 With some adjectives, you use more to make the comparative form, and most to make the superlative form.

 Adjectives that form their comparative and superlative with more and most are usually adjectives with two or more syllables, or sounds. For example: ac-tive,  ex-pen-sive, beau-ti-ful

     The comparative and superlative forms of some adjectives are completely different words.

 With these adjectives, you don't add -er or more to form the comparative, or -est or most to form the superlative.
