  2. Adjectives-Comparisons • Adjectives can be used in comparisons which means we change the form of the adjective when speaking of one, two, or more than two. They change either by adding er or est to the adjective or by using the words more or most before the adjective. Some are irregular in their form and must be memorized or looked up in the dictionary. The dictionary gives the forms for most words using er or est to form comparisons. The three degrees of comparison are called (1)positive which states a quality of onething or person, (2) comparative which compares two things or persons, and (3) superlative which compares more than two things or persons. Examples: positive - new, careless, good; comparative - newer, more careless, better; superlative - newest, most careless, best • Instructions: Write the comparative and superlative forms of the following adjectives. 1. jolly 2. honest 3. dim 4. friendly 5. little

  3. Lesson 38Parts of Speech - Adjectives • Many two-syllable adjectives and almost all adjectives with three or more syllables use more or most to form the comparative and superlative forms. Examples: honest, more honest, most honest; careful, more careful, most careful. • Instructions: Write the comparative and superlative forms for these words. 1. interesting 2. critical 3. splendid 4. delicious 5. outstanding

  4. Commas • Mechanics - Punctuation - Commas • Use commas to separate a series of three or more short clauses. Example: I am working, he is sleeping, and she is singing. (The comma before the conjunctionand is optional, but I prefer using it.) • Use no commas in a series when all items are joined by or, and, or nor. • Instructions: Place commas where they are needed. 1. They are eating we are drinking and you are starving. 2. The music began the lights dimmed and the curtains opened. 3. My sister has left home my brother is at school and my mother is baking bread. 4. Jim fished Jeff hiked and I loafed the whole campout. 5. You correct he proofreads but I edit material.
