Degrees of Comparison

➛ Adjectives have three degrees of comparison.

They are :

✰ Positive Degree :

This does not show any comparison.

Example:- She is pretty.

✰ Comparative Degree:

This shows a comparison between two persons or things. We use than in the comparative degree.

Example:- Mohan is taller than Sagar.

✰ Superlative Degree:

This shows a comparison between more than two persons or things. We use the before the superlative degree.

Example:- Vivek is the most intelligent of all.

➛ Formation of Comparative and Superlative Degree :

• We add er and est to the positive degree with the words of one syllable.

Example:- small | smaller | smallest

• We add only r or st if the positive degree and with e.

Example:- fine | finer | finest

• We change y to i and add er or est if the positive degree ends with y.

Example:- pretty | prettier | prettiest

• We add er or est after doubling the last consonant, if a single syllable adjective ends with a consonant is preceded by a short vowel.

Example:- hot | hotter | hottest

• We add more and most to the positive degree with adjectives of more than one syllable.

Example:- useful | more useful | most useful

➛ Like adjectives, adverbs also have three degrees of comparison— the positive degree, comparative degree and superlative degree.
