1) Hook - A Fun Story
One sunny day, Raju and Meena went to the mango orchard. 🍃
Raju picked a big mango. Meena picked a bigger mango. Then, their friend Arjun found the biggest mango of all! 🥭🥭🥭
Wow! They used special words to tell which mango was big, bigger, and biggest. These words are called adjectives of comparison.
2) Core Concepts - What Are Adjectives of Comparison?
An adjective describes a noun (a person, place, or thing). When we compare two or more things, we use adjectives of comparison.
| Type | Example Word | Sentence |
|---|---|---|
| Positive (Normal) | Tall | She is tall. |
| Comparative (Compare 2) | Taller | She is taller than her brother. |
| Superlative (Compare 3 or more) | Tallest | She is the tallest in the class. |
See? We add -er for comparing two things, and -est for three or more!
3) Key Formulas / Rules
Example: fast → faster → fastest
Example: large → larger → largest
Example: beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful
Example: She is taller than her sister.
4) Did You Know? 🤔
In India, the Taj Mahal is called one of the most beautiful buildings in the world! 🕌
We use adjectives of comparison to tell how special or different things are. Isn’t that amazing?
5) Exam Tips ✔️
