T presents a PPS with the

following title:
The Importance of Adjectives
We use adjectives to identify
a person or thing, or to
describe them in more
detail, e.g. a kind woman,
her new dress, my old car
One way of describing a
person or thing is by saying
they have more of a
particular quality than
someone or something else
To do this, we use
comparative adjectives:
- English is easier than
Maths.
- Ferrari is faster than
Logan.
- This si a bigger piece
of cake.
- The film was more
interesting than I
expected.
Comparatives can be modified with
words like: much, far, a bit, a little,
any, a lot
e.g. far more dangerous, any greater
It is also possible to describe
someone or something by saying
that they have more of a particular

One -syllable adjectives (fast, big) and twosyllable adjectives ending in y (easy) form the
comparative by adding er at the end of the
adjective and the superlative by adding est at
the end of the adjective
Two/ three -syllable adjectives form the
comparative by placing more before the
adjective and the superlative by placing the
most before the adjective

quality than any other of their kind.

We do this by using superlative
adjectives:
- Its the most delicious pizza
Ive ever eaten.
- Its the happiest day of my
life.
- Shes the tallest woman Ive
ever seen.
Superlatives can be modified with
words like: by far, quite, almost
e.g. by far the most complicated
T and sts work out the rules together

T draws the table on the board (ex. 14. a) ,

then elicits answers from STS to complete
the table

T explains the task at ex. 14. b and reads

out the adj in the table. T elicits the
irregular comparative and superlative
forms. T tells Ss that they need to learn
these forms by heart.

T explains the task at ex. 15 and

allows STS 3 min to fill in the gaps.
T asks Sts to read the statements
at ex. 16 and try to predict the
answers.
T asks sts. to underline the key
words in the statements, and
then plays the recording.
T checks Sts answers.
3. T asks Sts to look at the
pictures (ex. 18) and reads out
the prompts. T elicits
comparative/superlative forms
for each adjective.
T allows Sts 2 to complete the
task, then asks some pairs to act
out dialogues in front of the
class.

STS copy the completed table into their
