Did you know?

Contextualization

📚 Context: To kick off the class, explain to the students that adjectives are words that describe or qualify nouns, giving more detail about the traits of objects, people, or situations. They are critical for enriching communication and making it more precise. By learning the key adjectives in English, students will be better able to describe their surroundings, express their thoughts and feelings clearly, and understand what they read or hear in English.

Concepts

2. 🔠 Classification of Adjectives: Detail that adjectives can be grouped by their purpose, such as quality adjectives (e.g., 'beautiful', 'ugly'), quantity adjectives (e.g., 'many', 'few'), size adjectives (e.g., 'big', 'small'), and color adjectives (e.g., 'red', 'blue').

3. 📜 Order of Adjectives: Explain that when more than one adjective is used to describe a noun in English, there is a specific sequence: Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Purpose. Provide examples such as 'an exquisite big old round red Italian wooden dining table'.

Diskusi Concepts

1. 📚 Explanation of Question 1: The correct order of adjectives in the sentence 'She bought a ___ (beautiful, red, long) dress.' is 'She bought a beautiful long red dress.'. This adheres to the standard order of adjectives in English: Opinion (beautiful), Size (long), Color (red). 2. 🔍 Explanation of Question 2: The completed sentence with the comparative adjective is 'John is taller than his brother.'. The adjective 'tall' is short, so we add '-er' to create the comparative. 3. 📖 Explanation of Question 3: The correct sentence with the superlative adjective is 'She is the happiest person in the room.'. For short adjectives like 'happy', we change the 'y' to 'i' and add '-est' to form the superlative.
