Listening & Speaking Time

With a little preparation, the teacher will pick out different varieties of adjectives
for this activity. The teacher will go to one student and say one positive adjective.
Immediately the student has to speak out its comparative and superlative forms. The

the teacher wants, he/she can also ask the students to spell out the given adjectives.
high higher, highest
lazy lazier, laziest
Teacher fat Student fatter, fattest
surprised more surprised, most surprised
good better, best
