CLASS 5 ENGLISH LESSON PLAN
Date : Monday 22nd June Lesson # 7
Topic : Comparison of adverbs Time : 40 minutes
Comparison of adverbs
Adverbs give a better picture of an action - they add to a verb.
There are 3 degrees of comparison : positive, comparative and superlative.
NB Try not to confuse adverbs with adjectives - adverbs describe a verb (action) and adjectives describe a noun (person, place or thing).
Form We form comparative and superlative adverbs by :
Adding -er and -est to one syllable words e.g. soon/sooner/soonest hard/harder/hardest
We use more and most for adverbs that end with -ly or have 3 syllables or more E.g. sweetly/more sweetly/most sweetly beautifully/more beautifully/the most beautifully
Use We use comparative adverbs to compare two things and superlative adverbs to compare 3 or more things.
e.g She sings more sweetly than a lark. The three columns lasted longer than the temple. (Notice how we use than when comparing two things).
e.g. He arrived the earliest, so had to wait for the others. (We use the when comparing 3 or more things).
Exercise 1.
Here are 5 comparative adverbs and five verbs - see if you can match them in the best way.
Verbs : works/runs/walked/played/sang Adverbs : elegantly/better/faster/louder/harder
Exercise 2.
Here are 5 superlative adverbs and 5 verbs to match.
Verbs : flew/seemed/felt/tied/appeared Superlative adverbs : oddest/coolest/tightest/swiftest/boldest
