III. Grammar
Comparatives and Superlatives
·Comparatives are adjectives that compare 2 things to each other.
e.g. This year, the carnival will be better than last year
Comparatives are formed from adjectives in 2 ways:
·When the adjective is 1 syllable we add –er to it.
·When the adjective is more than 1 syllable we write more before it.
Here are some exceptions: ulgier and prettier
·Superlatives are adjectives that compare 1 thing to the rest.
e.g. It’s the largest street festival in the U.K.
e.g. It’s the most exciting event in London every year.
Superlatives are formed from adjectives in 2 ways:
·When the adjective is 1 syllable we write the before it and add –est to it.
·When the adjective is more than 1 syllable we write the most before it.
Here are some exceptions: the ulgiest and the prettiest
as…as
·We write as before and after an adjective to show there is no difference
between two people or things.
e.g. It’s as colourful as the carnival in Rio
·We write not as before and as after an adjective to show that there is a
difference between two people or things.
e.g. The Notting Hill Carnival is not as big as the carnival in Rio.
too / enough
·We write too before the adjective when something is more than we
need/want.
e.g. It’s too dark now
· We write enough enough after adjectives or before nouns when something is
as much as we need or want.
e.g. Is it bright enough now, Professor?
e.g. There isn’t enough light in here.
IV. Working with words
The suffix: -ion
·The suffix –ion changes some verbs into nouns
e.g. invent invention
act action
direct direction
·When the verb ends in –e, remove the –e and add –ion.
e.g. congratulate congratulation
decorate decoration
celebrate celebration
V. Writing Skills
Components of a story
·The beginning
·when the story takes place

·what the characters are doing / thinking / feeling
e.g. Liam wanted the costume, but it was too late.
·The end
·what happens in the end
e.g. He put on the costume and ran downstairs.
·how the characters feel
e.g. Liam was very excited.
