Lesson Plan: Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Students will be able to

• use comparative and superlative forms of adjectives,
• understand the difference between adjectives that use suffixes (-er and -est) and adjectives that use more and most,
• use intensifiers, such as a lot or a little, before comparative adjectives to talk about big or small differences between two things,
• use less with comparative adjectives and least with superlative adjectives,
• use the irregular comparative and superlative forms of the adjectives good and bad,
• use comparative adjectives to compare two things and to talk about change,
• use superlative adjectives to compare more than two things and to talk about extremes,
• use “as + adjective + as” with simple adjectives to compare nouns (e.g., She is as tall as him/She is not as tall as him).
