of the new lesson The teacher asks the students to give a short description about the pictures and writes it
on the board. (e.g. tallest/highest mountain, happy family, red flag)
What do you call these words?
The teacher discusses about modifiers.
D. Discussing new Modifiers are used to clarify, explain, describe and otherwise delimit the meaning of
concepts and other parts of speech and sentence elements.
practicing new These are words, phrases, or clauses that give descriptive details.
skills #1 When considering the proper form of a modifier, ask yourself what word is being
modified.
The first step in identifying modifiers is to read the sentence and look for descriptive
words.
You should then look at each descriptive word and try to determine whether it is an
adjective or an adverb.
An adjective describes a noun or pronoun
It answers the questions:
- how many
- which one
- what kind?
Example:
E. Discussing new - Nestled in the lap of the gigantic Himalayan Range, tiny land-locked Nepal has eight
concepts and out of ten highest mountains in the world, including Mt. Everest – the tallest in the
practicing new world.
skills #2 An adverb describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb
It answers the questions:
- when
- where
- how
- why
- what extent?
Example:
Nepal is a tremendously attractive location for mountaineers, rock climbers and
adventure seekers.
1) Thus, the teacher introduces the three degrees of comparison of regular and
irregular adjectives and the rules in comparing something and gives more
examples. The 3 degrees of comparison consists of positive degree,
comparative degree and superlative degree.
Positive degree—describes a quality or characteristics; it is the plain form of
the adjective.
Example: Joshua is an intelligent kid.
Comparative degree—is used to compare two persons, places or things.
Example: Christine is more intelligent than Joshua.
Superlative degree—it is used to compare three or more persons, places or
things.
Example: Francis is the most intelligent of all.
Regular Forms
Modifiers of One and Two Syllables. The first of two rules apply to modifiers
of one or two syllables.
Use –er or more to form the comparative degree and –est or most to
form the superlative degree of most one- and two-syllable modifiers.
Use more or less and most or least to form the comparative and
superlative degrees of all modifiers with three or more syllables .
EXAMPLES:
Beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
Superfluous more superfluous most superfluous
Soft less soft least soft
NOTE ABOUT COMPARISONS WITH LESS AND LEAST: Meaning the
opposite of more and most, less and least can be used to form another version of
the comparative and superlative degrees of most modifiers.
Irregular Forms
IRREGULAR MODIFIERS
Positive Comparative Superlative
Bad Worse worst
far farther farthest
good better best
little less least
much more most
