ON Go Grammar IN Comparison of adjectives Read this paragraph. Two cats lived under a tree. The grey cat was big, but the brown cat was bigger. One day they were very happy. The grey cat meowed in a loud voice. The brown cat meowed in a louder voice. The adjectives big and loud describe the grey cat and its voice. The adjectives bigger and louder describe the brown cat and its voice, showing that it is something more than big and loud. We add -er to adjectives when we use them to compare two things. Here, the words bigger and louder compare the two cats. 1. Read these examples and then write the comparative forms of the given words. One has been done for you. shorter sweeter short sweet a. tall taller b. small c. clever 5 The Cat on the Dovrefell 7/21/2023 6:13:40 PM Ascend G3 English G&C Part 2.indb 5
d. cold e. slow f. quick g. clean h. young We do not add -er to long adjectives. We add the word more before such adjectives when we use them to compare two things. Examples: • This painting is more beautiful than that one. • The Jungle Book is more interesting than the Wizard of Oz. 2. Write more before the adjectives and complete the table. One has been done for you. a. dangerous more dangerous b. famous c. delicious d. intelligent e. powerful f. modern g. pleasant h. expensive 6 The Cat on the Dovrefell Ascend G3 English G&C Part 2.indb 6 7/21/2023 6:13:40 PM
The word than is often used after the adjective of comparison when comparing two things. We add -est to adjectives when we use them to compare three or more things in a group. The -est form of the adjective describes the person or the thing that has the most or the least of a particular quality. Examples: tall taller tallest high higher highest We learnt about adjectives with which we add more to compare two things. We add most to such adjectives when we use them to compare three or more things in a group. Examples: • My watch is expensive. • Sue’s watch is more expensive. • Jill’s watch is the most expensive. We write the before most or the –est form of the adjective when we use it to compare three or more things. The Cat on the Dovrefell 7 Ascend G3 English G&C Part 2.indb 7 7/21/2023 6:13:41 PM

7 Androcles and the Lion Reading King Midas and the Donkey’s Ears Many long years ago, Pan, the god of shepherds, challenged Apollo to a musical competition. Pan said that his flute could produce better music than the God Apollo’s silly harp. The two agreed on a match. King Midas was to be one of the judges. After hearing the two melodies, all except King Midas selected Apollo as the winner. King Midas liked Pan’s music more. Very angry that anyone could like an ordinary flute to his musical instrument, Apollo said, “I know what’s wrong! It’s your ears. They are so tiny that you cannot hear well enough. I will fix them for you!” King Midas felt his ears shake. His ears grew and grew and turned into the large, furry ears of a donkey. King Midas was shocked. He looked at his ears in horror “Pan, help me!” he cried. But Pan ignored his request. King Midas tried his very best to hide his ugly ears from his people by wearing different hats, caps, Ascend G3 English G&C Part 2.indb 13 13 7/21/2023 6:13:45 PM
and stylish scarves. The only person who knew what his ears really looked like was his barber. King Midas made his barber promise to keep his donkey’s ears a secret. The barber tried to keep the secret. But it was making him very uncomfortable. Finally, the barber climbed high on a hill and went to the edge of a cliff. He dug a hole in the middle of some plants. He looked over his shoulder and made very sure that no one was listening. Then, he whispered softly into the opening of the hole, “Our King Midas has the ears of a donkey. King’s donkey ears! King’s donkey ears!” Having told his secret to the plants he felt much better. He returned home, certain that he had not broken his promise. However, the barber had dug right into Echo. Echo was a magical creature who lived in the mountains. She repeated the words spoken by others many times. She was all over the hilly countryside. Echo began whispering over and over, “King’s donkey ears, king’s donkey ears.” Sounds can be heard easily across the hills, even soft whispers. Very soon the entire kingdom knew King Midas’s secret!. 14 Androcles and the Lion Ascend G3 English G&C Part 2.indb 14 7/21/2023 6:13:46 PM
