  3. An adjective describes or modifies a noun (or a pronoun) e.g. The smalldog is eating a bigbone. He is very young. MJH_teacher

  4. How do we compare things? (Degrees of comparison) MJH_teacher

  5. Comparison and adjectives Adjectives are also used to compare people and things. There are three degrees of Comparison. אנו משווים תכונות של עצמים שונים, ע"י השוואת התארים שלהם. MJH_teacher

  6. There are three degrees: highest Superlative higher Comparative high Basic MJH_teacher

  7. Basic MJH_teacher

  8. Basic The basic form (degree) of adjectives shows the possession of a quality without comparison. Ex.: I like dark colors. Daniel is a tall boy. שם התואר (דרגת הבסיס) מלמד על תכונה של שם העצם, ללא כל השוואה לאחרים. MJH_teacher

  9. Comparative MJH_teacher

  10. When we want to say that two things or people are the same or aren’t the same, we use the base form in one of the following expressions: as … as ; not as … as e.g.: The red baloon is asbigas the green one. but The chicken is notas tall as Arnie. השוואה של תכונה או איכות דומה בין שני שמות עצם. (כמו... / לא כמו...) MJH_teacher

  11. Comparative When we want to compare the qualities of two things or people (two nouns or pronouns), we usually add –er to the basic form + than. Ex.: Red is a darker color than yellow. Daniel is tallerthan his brother. השוואה של תכונה או איכות דומה בין שני שמות עצם. (יותר/פחות ... מ...) MJH_teacher

  12. Adjectives of 2 or more syllables (unless it ends with r or y), we compare by using: noun verb more / less____thannoun. This book ismore interesting than that book. My ad isless convincing than your ad. כאשר שם העצם מורכב מ-2 הברות או יותר נשתמש בצורה זו להשוואת שמות התואר.(אלא אם שם התואר מסתיים ב- r או y MJH_teacher

  13. Superlative MJH_teacher

  14. Superlative When we want to compare a quality among three or more things or people we usually add –estto the basic form.Ex.:- Daniel is the tallestboyin his family. - Joe is the shortestboyin his family. כאשר אנו משווים בין שני עצמים או יותר, נשתמש בצורה זו (הכי...) Joe Daniel MJH_teacher

  15. Spelling Rules-1 Usually, the ending er/est is simply added to the positive form of the adjective. For example: fast - faster  strong - stronger  tall - tallest  young - youngest When an adjective ends in a silent e, the silent e is dropped before the ending er/est is added. e.g.:  brave - braver - bravest close - closer - closest late - later - latest MJH_teacher

  16. Spelling Rules-2 When an adjective ends in y preceded by a consonant, the y is changed to i before the ending er/est is added. e.g.:  dry - drier-driest;   easy - easier-easiest When an adjective ends in a CVC and the last consonant is other than w, x or y or a double vowel - we double the final consonant before adding er/est is added. e.g.:  big - bigger-biggest  (hot - hotter  sad - saddest but: e.g.: loud - louder;  neat - neater;  soon - sooner MJH_teacher

  17. Spelling Rules-3 Don’t forget: The comparative and the superlative forms have 2 parts: …er than the …estnicerthan the nicest Remember: Then = a time expression Than = a word we use for comparison MJH_teacher

  18. Spelling Rules- Irregular adjectives A few of the adjectives which are used with endings have irregular comparative forms. You will find them on the next slide. MJH_teacher
