4th GRADE: COMPARATIVE
We use comparatives to compare two things or two people.To form comparatives you need to know the
number of syllables in the adjective.
But... there are some irregular comparatives. Look at this table:
Now, let's see these examples:
number of syllables in the adjective.
The rules to form comparatives:
2. One syllable adjective ending in a silent 'e' — nice1. One syllable adjective ending in one vowel and one consonant — big
- Comparative — the consonant is doubled and 'er' is added —bigger
- Comparative — add 'r' — nicer
3. One syllable adjective ending in more than one consonant or more than a vowel — high, cheap
- Comparative — 'er' is added — higher, cheaper
4. A two syllable adjective ending in 'y' — happy
- Comparative — 'y' becomes 'i' and 'er' is added — happier
5. Two syllable or more adjectives without 'y' at the end — exciting
- Comparative — more + the adjective + than — more exciting than
But... there are some irregular comparatives. Look at this table:
Now, let's see these examples:
6th GRADE: PRESENTATION - "MY SUMMER HOLIDAY"

4th GRADE - ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY (ALWAYS, USUALLY, OFTEN, SOMETIMES, NEVER)
Frequency adverbs show how often something happens. They usually come before the main verb in a sentence: "I sometimes cook Italian food."
They can also be found after 'be' verbs (Am, is, are) : "She is always early for class."
Use this scale to get an idea of what the adverbs mean. Remember, this is just an estimate. The percentages are not fixed rules!
100% - Always
80% - Usually
60% - Often
50% - Sometimes
0% - Never
Look at these examples:
- I always have corn flakes for breakfast.
- They usually spend the summer in the mountains.
- You often water the garden.
- Ben sometimes goes to the theater.
- They never go hiking
Subject | Auxiliary | Adverb of frequency | Verb | Rest |
---|---|---|---|---|
I | always | get up | at 6.45. | |
Peter | can | usually | play | football on Sundays. |
Mandy | has | sometimes | got | lots of homework. |

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL
Estimadas familias y alumn@s:
Welcome back to school! ¡Bienvenidos al blog del área de inglés del CEIP Jacaranda!
En primer lugar, espero que hayáis descansado y disfrutado de las vacaciones de verano. Ha llegado septiembre y eso significa vuelta a la rutina diaria y como no... la vuelta al cole.. En estos días es normal tener nostalgia de los largos día de verano jugando con los amigo@s o pasando un día estupendo en la playa o en la piscina. Pero... comienza un nuevo curso escolar... para algunos será el primero de la educación primaria y para otros el último curso en Jacaranda. Un nuevo curso en el que estoy seguro que aprenderemos nuevas palabras, aprenderemos a escuchar, leeremos y por supuesto nos comunicaremos en inglés.
Para ello, a partir de hoy mismo entra en funcionamiento un nuevo recurso que será una herramienta muy útil y fundamental para una mejor asimilación de los contenidos de la clase de inglés. Como podéis comprobar, este será nuestro pequeño espacio virtual para aprender y comunicarnos entre el alumnado y las familias. Antes de nada os lo presento... Su nombre es...
Este blog está creado y será dirigido por Franc Morilla Alba, profe definitivo de inglés en el CEIP Jacaranda de Benalmádena. Asimismo, este blog está dirigido al alumnado y a las familias 1º, 3º, 4º y 6º A, cursos en lo que imparto docencia.
¿Para qué sirve esta nueva herramienta?
Muy fácil... a lo largo de la unidad se irá añadiendo material para la clase de inglés, así como actividades extra de ampliación y refuerzo. De esta manera, desde casa y de forma paralela podéis aprender más y / o resolver dudas practicando las actividades que se propongan. También dispondréis de enlaces a juegos, canciones o todo lo que crea conveniente para aprender de una forma más lúdica.
Además si le echáis un vistazo a la parte derecha poco a poco se llenará de links útiles para la clase de inglés y lo más importante... un calendario en el que tendréis la fecha de los exámenes, entrega de proyectos o trabajos o todo lo que sea relevante para la clase de inglés. De este modo.... si hay algún despiste en la agenda, rápidamente podemos mirar nuestro blog y solucionar una duda en cuanto a alguna fecha concreta. Ya no hay excusa... "profe... se me ha olvidado"... jejeje
Quizá parezca complicado en este momento, pero no os preocupéis queridos alumn@s y familias ya que paso a paso trabajaremos con el blog en clase y todo el alumnado sabrá como usarlo perfectamente. Eso sí, como corresponde a la asignatura es inglés, lógicamente el medio de comunicación será en lengua inglesa. No tengáis miedo porque todo será explicado detalladamente en clase y se usará un lenguaje accesible a cada nivel. Si alguna vez tuviese que comunicarme con las familias, se usará la lengua castellana.
Para terminar, simplemente recordar que el horario de tutorías está establecido los lunes de 17 a 18 horas. No olvidéis que para hablar en tutoría se necesita cita previa que podéis solicitar a través de la agenda de vuestros hij@s, y que preferiblemente en los días tengamos inglés en horario para que llegue rápidamente a mis manos y también evitar un trabajo extra a los tutores. También pido comprensión si alguna familia debe esperar alguna semana a la tutoría ya que solamente disponemos de una hora semanal de atención a familias y en mi caso 10 cursos a los que atender con lo cual a veces puede demorarse un poco en el tiempo.
Sin más aprovecho la ocasión para saludarles atentamente y en unos días el blog comienza a rodar y a llenarse de recursos que serán divertidos y útiles para aprender más y más inglés.
¡Bienvenidos al curso escolar 2015-16!
Franc Morilla
