Grandfather’s Old Watch

by: Syrelle France S. Paterter

Back when we were still young, my sister and I used to go to

our grandparents’ house to play with our cousins. I could still
remember the two old rusty swings by the garden. Kuya Anton,
the eldest among us, used to sway both Alyana and me until his
arms got more tired than before.
One day, while we were playing inside the big house, I saw
my grandfather looking at his watch. It was quite old, but he
seemed to treasure it.
“Lolo, your watch is already old. Don’t you want to replace it
with a new one?” I used to ask him then. But he just smiled at
me and tapped my shoulders using his calloused big hands.
When my grandfather died, we put the watch in his casket
and buried it with him. My father said that it was my Lola’s
wedding gift to him. That’s when I realized how important that
old watch is to my Lolo.

1. Who owned the old watch?

a. Lolo
b. Lola
c. Father

2. Why is the watch important?

a. because it keeps an old treasure map
b. because it was a gift
c. because it was an heirloom

in the story?

• The words young, eldest, more tired, and old show the
degrees of comparison of adjectives.

The POSITIVE degree is used when we are simply describing

a person or thing.
Example: The ipil-ipil tree is tall.

The COMPARATIVE degree is used when we are comparing two

persons or things. We usually add –er at the end of the adjective or
use word like “more” before the adjective.
Example: The coconut tree is taller than the ipil-ipil tree.
4
CO_Q2_English4_Module4
 The SUPERLATIVE degree is used when comparing three
or more persons or things.

Example: The narra tree is the tallest of the three.

• The series of words “two, old, rusty” and “calloused, big”
show the order of adjectives in the sentences.

 For the ORDER of ADJECTIVES, we follow this

order: Number, Opinion, Size, Age, Shape,
Color, Origin, Material, Purpose (NOSASCOMP)

 We don’t use comma in between adjectives when

they belong to different adjective groups.
Example: two round brown (number, shape, color)
