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!
