Adjectives Reading
Circle the adjectives in this reading.
Yesterday I went to a new museum. I like to look at the beautiful art. I looked in a big room that had large statues. Many of the statues were very tall.
The next room I visited had many old paintings. The paintings were painted by famous artists. The paintings were incredible.
After the museum I went for a walk on the street. It was lunchtime so the street was busy. The traffic was loud and people walked everywhere. The street was tiny and there were big trucks and vans.
I decided to have lunch because I was hungry. The restaurant I went to was beautiful, and the food smelled delicious. I ate pasta with white sauce. For dessert I had pie with ice cream. The food was wonderful, and it was a great day.

Comparative Adjectives Reading
Circle the comparative adjectives in this reading.
My brother and I like to watch soccer. Yesterday we went to see a game between our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. We were excited because I love the Hawks and he loves the Eagles.
The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the field. We argued about our teams. He always says the Eagles are faster, stronger, and smarter than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played much better than the Eagles. They looked stronger and faster than the Eagles.
The food and the drinks were more expensive than other stadiums, and they tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was smaller than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my food, and I hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.

Three people are in the park. Tom is 20. Susan is 25. Kevin is 30. Therefore, Kevin is the oldest person in the park. This is similar to saying Kevin is older than Tom and older than Susan.

Absolute Adjectives
Absolute adjectives can’t be used as comparatives or superlatives. The adjective itself is the final description of the noun. It can’t change. Take a look at this example:
• My ball is redder than your ball.
Red is a colour, so something can’t be more or less red. It can only be red. Think about another example:
• I am more finished than you.
Finished is an absolute adjective. You are either finished or you are not. You can’t have different levels of finished.

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was more colder than the week before.
My brother and I like different teams. He thinks the Eagles are faster, stronger, and more smart than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played a lot better than the Eagles. They looked more stronger than the horrible Eagles.
The food and the drinks were expensiver than other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was more small than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, and hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was more colder than the week before.
My brother and I like different teams. He thinks the Eagles are faster, stronger, and more smart than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played a lot better than the Eagles. They looked more stronger than the horrible Eagles.
The food and the drinks were expensiver than other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was more small than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, and hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.
