Adjectives Sample Grades 3-4 Grammar (PPT)

Sort a single adjective into demonstrative, descriptive or quantitative from the word alone, without sentence context

Recognise that quantity words such as three, many and few and pointing words such as this, that and these are adjectives, not only describing words like massive and beige

Replace the non-standard phrases more hot, most pretty and most funny with the inflected forms hotter, prettiest and funniest

Project the first ten slides as a warm-up sort, since each carries only one word and three fixed choices and moves quickly in a whole-class round

Pause between Q10 and Q11: the demand changes from naming a category to spelling a form, and the three choices from that point are near-identical misspellings such as taler / taller / tallr

The teacher remarks panel on the answer sheet gives a place to note which of the three blocks a student lost marks in

Classifying adjectives by type — students decide whether isolated words like beige, few and these are descriptive, quantitative or demonstrative across ten slides.

Spelling-rule application — the y-to-i change (happier, busiest, shiniest) and the silent-e rule (larger, not largeer) are each tested by the wrong choices offered.

Correcting over-marked comparison — five slides ask students to replace more hot, most pretty and most funny with the single-word inflected forms.
