Comparing things<br />
When we compare two or more things we sometimes<br />
add er or est to a word.<br />
For example:<br />
A kitten is small.<br />
A mouse is smaller.<br />
An ant is the smallest.<br />
1. Read the report about the weather. Circle the describing<br />
words that compare.<br />
Monday was a wet day. There were deep puddles<br />
everywhere. The sky was dark <strong>and</strong> the wind was cold.<br />
Wednesday was a wetter day. The puddles had become deeper. The sky was<br />
even darker <strong>and</strong> the wind was colder.<br />
Saturday was the wettest day. The puddles were the<br />
deepest they had been. The sky was the darkest it<br />
had been all week <strong>and</strong> the wind was the coldest.<br />

(d) When had the puddles become deeper?<br />
