Adjective can only vary by degrees Degrees of Comparison Rule 1. There are three types of degrees of adjectives: positive, comparative, and superlative degrees. Monosyllabic words do not undergo any changes at the positive degree. Comparatively, two things, objects, persons are compared. At the comparative degree, the adjective word group changes with the suffix –er. Three or more things, objects, and persons are compared in superlative degree. In the superlative degree, it changes through the suffix -est . Example:
Rule 2. If the adjective is two-syllable and ends with -w, -er, -y letters and letter combinations, -er/-est suffixes are added in the comparative and superlative degrees.
Rule 3. If the adjective has two or more syllables, more/most comes before the word in comparative and superlative degrees. But it does not change in translation.
Rule 4. Some adjectives change in the root of the word in the comparative and superlative degrees.
Rule 5. The suffix than is usually used in sentences involving the comparative degree. Example: My father is taller than your father Rule 6. Superlative adjectives are usually preceded by the definite article the. Example: She is the cleverest girl in our group. Task 3. Match adjectives with nouns

Night Watchman Night Watchman is one of the most fun theater games for big groups or small groups alike. This game requires players to imitate statues under the watch of a Night watchman. The players will try to move without getting caught. To play this game, first, decide which player will be the Night watchman. This player can move around freely during the game. Other players take the form of statues. The players can take a few steps around, but the Night watchman must not see them move Once the Night watchman sees a player move, the player is out of the game. The Night watchman can do things to make the players laugh and move. However, the Night watchman cannot touch any of the players. Set the rules of the game according. It would be best if you did not count breathing, blinking, and smiling as movements that will disqualify a player. You can customize the game to be just a fun no-winner game. In that case, any player that the Night watchman catches becomes the new Night watchman. Task 7. Tongue Twisters Tongue Twisters are awesome theatre games for students, but other groups can also play them. A tongue twister consists of words that are difficult to articulate correctly without making mistakes. To play this game, prepare the Tongue Twisters for the game. All the participants can play individually. Participants who successfully articulate the tongue twister will proceed to the next round. In the next round, give the participants a different tongue twister. The game will continue in rounds until there is a winner. Here are some tongue twister ideas you can use for the game: She sells seashells by the seashore A big black bug bit a big black bear The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes I saw a kitten eating chicken in the kitchen I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream If you notice this notice, then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing Any noise annoys an oyster, but a noisy noise annoys an oyster more Rubber baby buggy bumpers Can you can a can as a canner can can a can? You can have the participants say the Tongue Twisters just once or repeat several times. Download 0.64 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
