baton from her and started his
run.

other player.

4. Discussion

Class what have you observe on the

selection?
There are several underlined words in the
chart.
What are the words that are underlined in the
selection?
Restlessly Soundlessly suddenly
Fast loudly neatly
immediately
What do you think are these words?
These words are examples of an adverb.
Very Good!
Like adjectives, adverbs also have three degrees
of comparison in order to compare the actions of
person or things.
What are the degrees of comparison?
Positive, Comparative, and Superlative.
Based on the selection, those underlined words are
what we call Positive degree, why do think?
 Because it does not make comparison of
person or things.
Very Good!

The Comparative degree of adverbs

is used when the action of two
(Pupils will listen)
persons or things is compared.
 Remember on these rules:
1. Adding –er to one syllable adverb.
Examples:
Loud- louder soft- softer
High- higher slow-slower (Pupils will listen)
2. Adding more to adverbs ending in –ly.
Examples:
Successfully- more successfully
Cheerfully- more cheerfully

Do you get me?

Yes teacher!
The Superlative degree of adverbs is
used when the action of three or
(Pupils will listen)
more persons or things is compared.

 Remember on these rules:

1. Adding –est to one syllable adverb.
Examples:
Sweet-sweetest nice- nicest (Pupils will listen)
Hard- hardest smooth- smoothest
2. Adding most to adverbs ending in –ly.
Examples:
Deliciously- most deliciously
Gently – most gently

Do you get me?

Yes teacher!

General Rules:
 Word ending in y following a consonant,
change y to i then add the suffix.
Example:
happy - happier - happiest
 An adverb ending in a consonant
following one vowel, double the final
consonant.
Example:
fat – fattier – fattiest
thin – thinner – thinnest (Pupils will listen)
 Than always follows the comparative form
of adverbs.
Examples:
sweeter than faster than
 The always precede the superlative form
of adverbs.
Examples:
the sweetest the fastest

5. Generalization
Class, again what are the three degrees of
comparison of adverb?
The positive, comparative, and superlative
forms.
