Let's have a look

1. Welke woorden veranderen?

2. Wat gebeurt er met woorden zoals “big” en “expensive”?

3. Wanneer gebruik je “more/most”?

4. Kun je de regel invullen?

Did you notice?

Bij woorden van 1 lettergreep gebruik je:

• -er (than)
• (the) -est
• als een woord eindigt op -y, krijg je -ier en -iest

                                                                                                                            hot                       hotter               hottest

Bij woorden van 2 of meer lettergrepen gebruik je:

• more (than) 
• (the) most

                                                                                             dangerous         more dangerous    most dangerous

Practice makes perfect

Maak opdracht 2 en 3 op je werkblad. Dit mag samen met je buurvrouw/buurman op fluistertoon.

How did it go?

What did you learn about these sentences? When are they used?

When do we use -er (than) and more (than)?

When do we use (the) -est and (the) most?

Time to play a game

For this game you need to pair up!

The rules are simple:

• Try to guess the picture your classmate selected.
• Ask question by comparing the pictures:        Is it the fastest way to travel?                                Is it cheaper than a hotel? 
• Done? Switch roles.

Time is up

How was the game?

The game was more difficult than I thought.

The game was doable.

The easiest game ever!

That's it for today

Homework: finish the exercises on your worksheet.

See you tomorrow!
