Comparatives and Superlatives - PowerPoint

English teaching resources for Year 3/4 focus on adjectives and their degrees, namely nominative, comparative, and superlative. The nominative form is the basic form of an adjective, such as 'big'. To compare two items, the comparative form is used, indicated by 'bigger'. When comparing more than two items and referring to the highest degree, the superlative form is used, such as 'biggest'. Students learn to identify and use these forms correctly in sentences, enhancing their grammatical skills and understanding of the English language.

Worksheets and activities are included to provide students with practical exercises. For example, they are asked to write the comparative and superlative forms of given nominative adjectives like 'hot', 'long', and 'thin'. Additionally, sentence completion tasks require the correct application of these adjectives in context, further reinforcing the lesson. By the end of the resources, students should be able to confidently use and distinguish between the three degrees of adjectives, and apply them appropriately in both spoken and written English.
