Adjectives Comparatives and superlatives – Revisão

Para compreendermos os Adjectives Comparatives e Superlatives, precisamos revisar que os adjetivos (tall, thin, big, good, fast, intelligent, etc) são usados para caracterizar os substantivos e podem ser utilizados para fazermos comparações. Nesse sentido, os adjetivos em inglês podem ser encontrados em três graus: normal, comparative and superlative.

Leia a tabela com muita atenção para recordas os conteúdos gramaticais.

ADJECTIVE	SHORT ADJECTIVE	LONG ADJECTIVE
Normal	big	intelligent
Comparative: é usado para comparar duas coisas ou pessoas.	bigger than Goiânia is bigger than Rio Verde.	more intelligent than Pedro is more intelligent than Marcos.
Superlative: é usado para dizer que algo ou alguém é melhor do que um grupo.	The biggest Goiânia is the biggest city in Goiás.	The most intelligent Pedro is the most intelligent student in his class.

 

Let’s read a text and do some activities!! (Vamos ler um texto e fazer algumas atividades !!)

The Rodriguez Brothers Circus is in town! Every year, the circus arrives and stays for a week. Then they go to the next town.

Most of the performers are human! There is Leopold, The Strongest Man In The World. His father also worked in the circus, but Leopold is stronger than him, he has bigger arms and bigger legs too! Leopold performs his act every night for the town's people who come to watch.

Another performer is Clara. She says she has the longest hair in the world. It's about 4 metres long! She also has a daughter who works in the circus. Her name is Sue-Ellen.

The highlight of the circus are the three clowns, Pit, Pot and Pat. They all wear long red shoes, but Pat's shoes are the longest and sometimes, he falls over because they're so long! They perform for about twenty minutes and they are always the most popular act with the audience, especially the children. Many people think Pit, Pot and Pat are three brothers, but Pat is older than the other two - he's their father! He's the oldest clown in the country, but he has a lot of energy.

Tomorrow will be the longest day because the circus is leaving town and everything must be packed away into big trucks.
