00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about adjectives, are and how they are used for comparison.
00:10So let's start. Kids, we know the names of persons, animals, things, places and feelings
00:18are nouns. He is a student. Here, student is a noun as it is the name of a person. He
00:30is a brilliant student. Here, the word brilliant tells us more about the noun student or it
00:38describes the noun. So brilliant is a describing word and is called an adjective. Adjectives
00:48are not only used to describe nouns but also used to compare naming words. Let's see how.
00:58These girls are looking pretty. Here, pretty is an adjective but here it's not being used
01:05for comparison. Here, the adjective shorter is comparing the two girls with each other.
01:16Alice is smart. Here, the adjective smart is not comparing Alice with anyone. Alice
01:26is smarter than Joy. Here, the word smarter is also an adjective for Alice and it's comparing
01:36Alice with Joy. Alice is the smartest boy in the class. Smartest is also an adjective
01:47for Alice and it is comparing Alice to all the students of the class. Sophie is a good
01:56singer but Ava is better than her and Sarah is the best singer. Here, good is an adjective
02:05for Sophie that is not comparing Sophie to anyone. Better is an adjective for Ava that
02:14is comparing Ava with Sophie and best is an adjective which refers to the best one
02:22among a group. Let's have a look at some more examples. Good, better, best. Good is not
02:34used for comparison. Better is used for comparison between two things or persons and best is
02:45used for comparison between more than two things. Smart, smarter, smartest. Smart is
02:56not used for comparison. Smarter is used for comparison between two things. Smartest compares
03:05among more than two people. Lovely, lovelier, loveliest. Sharp, sharper, sharpest. Short,
03:18shorter, shortest. Funny, funnier, funniest. Happy, happier, happiest. Nice, nicer, nicest. Big,
03:32bigger, biggest. Rare, rarer, rarest. Small, smaller, smallest. Thin, thinner, thinnest. Long,
03:48longer, longest. Old, older, oldest. Let's see some more examples. Large, larger, largest. Fair,
04:04fairer, fairest. Broad, broader, broadest. Neat, neater, neatest. Wide, wider, widest. Some
04:19adjectives change altogether in their higher degrees. Good, better, best. Bad, worse, worst.
04:29Much, more, most. Many, more, most. Far, farther, farthest. Now we have seen many adjectives and
04:44their degrees. Let's see the uses of adjectives. My name is Chloe. I have two friends, Sarah and
04:54Ava. Each of us has a doll. All dolls are pretty. My doll is prettier than Sarah's doll, but Ava's
05:04doll is prettiest among all the dolls. Pretty is an adjective that does not compare. Prettier is
05:14an adjective that makes a comparison between two dolls. Prettiest is an adjective that makes a
05:23comparison among all the dolls. This is our class. I study in section A. There are many students in
05:35section A and there are more students in section B, but section C has most number of students. What
05:43does it mean? The adjective many is an adjective that does not compare. It just states that there
05:53are a large number of students. More is an adjective that compares between section A and B,
06:01and section C has most number of students. Most is an adjective that compares between all the
06:11sections. The adjective most indicates that section C has maximum number of students. Here
06:21are three girls with three different lengths of hair. The first girl in white costume has long
06:28hair, but the girl wearing red dress has the longer hair than that girl. Moreover, the girl
06:37in the black outfit has the longest hair among all the girls. So we notice that the word long
06:47is an adjective that is not comparing. The word longer is making a comparison between two girls,
06:55and the word longest is comparing the hair of all the girls. So kids, today we learned about
07:04adjectives and how they are used for comparison. Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
07:13Bye-bye!
