Thought Question…
• What does it mean to COMPARE something?
• Quartney reads the words “comparative” and “superlative” and makes a guess that something “superlative” means it is the most or biggest. What part of the word SUPERLATIVE probably helped her make that guess?

Mini-Lesson: Comparative vs Superlative
• Adjectives are DESCRIPTIVE words that describe a noun.
• We use COMPARATIVE adjectives to describe the difference between TWO things.
• We use SUPERLATIVE adjectives to describe differences between THREE or more things.
• Comparatives often end in –ER or use the word “more.”
• Superlatives often end in –EST or use the word “most.”

Comparative Adjectives!
• Comparative Adjectives often end in –er.• Small is an adjective. Smaller is a comparative
adjective. • We understand that if something is “smaller”
it is “more small” than something else.• Comparative adjectives are only used to tell
the difference between TWO things!
