I. THE COMPARATIVE FORM

a. To compare two people or things, we use the comparative form of an adjective. The comparative
form is usually made by adding "-er" to the adjective.
Adjective Comparative Form
tall taller
short shorter
poor poorer
rich richer
young younger
old older
hard harder
soft softer
slow slower
fast faster
The examples are:

1. Mr Raihan is taller than Mr Ivan.
2. A train is faster than a bus.
b. If an adjective has three syllables or more, then the word "more" is used.
Adjective Comparative Form
interesting more interesting
beautiful more beautiful
expensive more expensive
The examples are:

1. Rina is more beautiful than Nia.
2. Rio's notebook is more expensive than Adi's notebook.
Note:
The word than is often used to compare two things or people.
II. THE SUPERLATIVE FORM

a. To compare three or more people or things, we use the superlative form of adjective. The
superlative from is usually made by adding "-est" to the adjective.
Adjective Superlative Form
tall tallest
short shortest
poor poorest
rich richest
young youngest
old oldest
hard hardest
soft softest

An example of superlative form:

Adjective Superlative Form
attractive most attractive
intelligent most intelligent
difficult most difficult
The examples are:

1. Albert Einstein was the most intelligent person in history.
2. Some people think that Russian is the most difficult language.
Note.
 If the adjective ends in "e”, add "-r" to form the comparative and "-est" to form the superlative.
 Suppose the adjective is a short word that ends in a consonant and has a single vowel in the middle. Just
double the consonant and add "-er" to make the comparative and "-est" to make superlative.
 Suppose the adjective has two syllables and ends in "y". Just change the "y" to "i" and add "-er" to make the
comparative and add "-est" to make superlative.
 Some common adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms that you have to learn:

3. But adjectives of size always come before adjectives of colour.
For example:

I. SIMPLE PAST TENSE

1. The purpose of simple past tense is to talk about things that happened in the past.
2. The words was and were are the simple past forms of the verb be.
 Was is the simple past form of am and is. Use was with singular nouns like 'my dad' and 'the
teacher' and with the pronouns he, she and it.
 Were is the simple past form of are. Use were with plural nouns like 'my parents' and 'Jenny and
Mary' and with the pronouns we, you and they.
 The examples of simple past tense:
 Ten years ago, I was only a baby.
 My friend was ill yesterday.
 Mom was angry when she saw the broken vase.
 It was six o'clock when we got home.
 We were away on vacation last month.
 Anisah and I were in the garden.
 You were nasty to me.
 Dinosaurs were prehistoric animals.
3. The form is:

4. Verb in Past Form

 The simple past tense is usually made by adding -ed to the verb.
Example:
 I opened the door and looked inside.
 The plane landed ten minutes ago.
 My cousin visited us last summer.
 We walked to school yesterday.
 She laughed when I told her the joke.
 If a verb ends in e, just add d to make the simple past tense.

Example:
 Who closed all the windows?
 We lived in that house when I was a baby.
 She smiled when she saw me.
 We raced each other on our bikes.
 If a verb ends in y, change the y to i before adding -ed.

Example:
 I carried my mom's shopping bag.
 My brother cried when he fell off his bike.
 We hurried to the station to catch the train.
 Dad tried to help me with my homework.
 With some short verbs that end in a consonant, you must double the consonant before adding -ed.
Example:
 I climbed over the fence and ripped my shirt.
 The stranger grabbed my arm.
 The dog wagged its tail when it saw the biscuits.
 He slammed the door and walked off angrily.

When I was a kid, I had a friend who I used to call Bono. He liked to play with his friends in the soccer field,
not far from their houses.
One day, one of his friends brought an empty biscuit can. Then, he covered the firecracker with the can and
when the firecracker exploded, the can bounced up in the air. Bono's friends were all impressed and Bono got
very excited. He wanted to impress his friends too.
Not far from there, Bono saw a big piece of cow manure. He put a firecracker on it, which made the
manure look like a birthday cake. When the firecracker exploded, the cow manure was splattered all around.

My Vacation In Bali
I spent the last vacation in Bali with my father, mother, and sister. We left Semarang for Bali at 9.45 a.m..
However, we could not go directly to Denpasar. Our plane had to stop at Jakarta, then we took another plane to
Denpasar. Actually, we could go through Surabaya which was closer to Denpasar. However, my father could
not get the tickets to Surabaya. That’s why we decided to go through Jakarta, though it was a bit more
expensive.
We arrived at Ngurah Rai at 7 p.m. and went directly to the hotel. The hotel was amazing. The name was
Inna Grand Bali Hotel in Sanur. The hotel was very large. Ifs about 45 hectares and just next to Sanur beach.
We just needed to walk for three minutes from our room to reach the beach. My sister and I went to the beach
nearly every morning.
We spent the first day enjoying our staying in the hotel. On the second day, we were picked by a minibus
and went to Tanjung Benoa harbour. From Tanjung Benoa, we took a boat to go to Nusa Penida Island. We had
a great tour at Nusa Penida. First, we visited Toyapakeh village. We enjoyed the unique Balinese village life
there. After that we snorkeled in the sea. Wow, the fish and coral were amazing! Late in the evening we went
back to our hotel in Denpasar.
We spent the third day by shopping in Sukowati. My mom bought a lot of Balinese clothing. I bought a
small painting for my room. My sister decided to buy some necklaces made of shells. She wanted to share them
with her friends. My father didn't buy anything. Finally, we flew back to Semarang in the afternoon.

It was nine in the evening. I was on my way to my bedroom after brushing my teeth. As I was passing the living
room, I saw my brother, Aldo, lying on the floor watching TV. He always did that every night. He refused to go
to his bedroom and chose to sleep in front of the television. I decided not to say anything and directly went to
bed.
I was half asleep when I heard a scream coming from the living room. It was about two in the morning. I
jumped out of the bedroom and rushed to the voice. In the living room, I found Aldo was crying. His right hand
was on his right ear. He said, "Help, help, help. It hurts!" Then he told me that an insect had gone into his ear. I
half felt pity to the insect. I figured out it was an ant. I imagined how poor the ant was.
Since Aldo couldn't stop crying, I decided to take him to the hospital. Soon after our j arrival, a doctor in
charge examined Aldo's ear. He, then, used a pair of pincers to take the insect out. I was so surprised to see the
insect. It wasn't an ant, it was a young cockroach! Gosh! It was as big as a baby's little finger.
From then on, Aldo never slept in front of television any more.

during the vacation. We did a lot of things. At the first day, we went around the city by motorcycle. We stopped
by at some markets in our city and enjoyed the window shopping. The next day, I taught Zaky how to play

I. NARRATIVES
1. A narrative tells a story.
2. A narrative is mainly used to entertain.
3. A narrative consists of several parts:
 Orientation
This part introduces characters and/or sets the scene (when/whecf).
 Complication(s)
In this part, the main character faces a problem.
 Resolution(s)
This part tells how the problem is resolved, for a better or worse situation.
4. An example of a narrative:
The Ant and The Dove
Orientation  introduces the characters and sets the scene

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came
to a spring.
Complication (1)  the main character faces a problem

To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped
and fell into the water.
Resolution (1)  tells how the problem is resolved

She could have drowned if a dove on a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in
trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant.
The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Complication (2)  the main character faces a problem

Just as that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it.
Resolution (2)  tells how the problem is resolved

Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter
dropped his net. Quickly, the dove flew away safely.
