Answer: Hey mate!! Hope this helps
Degrees of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.
There are three Degrees of Comparison in English.
They are:
1. Positive degree.
2. Comparative degree.
3. Superlative degree.
Let us see all of them one by one.
1.Positive degree.
When we speak about only one person or thing, We use the Positive degree.
Examples:
• This house is big.
In this sentence only one noun “The house" is talked about.
• He is a tall student.
•This flower is beautiful.
• He is an intelligent boy.
Each sentence mentioned above talks about only one noun.
The second one in the Degrees of Comparison is...
2.Comparative degree.
When we compare two persons or two things with each other,
We use both the Positive degree and Comparative degree.
Examples:
a. This house is bigger than that one. (Comparative degree)
This house is not as big as that one. (Positive degree)
The term “bigger" is comparative version of the term “big".
Rule: When comparing or contrasting two persons, places, or things, use the comparative degree. When comparing three or more, use the superlative degree
In forming comparative and superlative modifiers, you either add an er/est ending or add the helpers more/most. It is never necessary to use both:
Be sure that the items you compare are of a similar kind.
When comparing one of a group with the rest of the group, remember to use other or else.
When making negative comparisons, use the adjectives less and fewer. Increasingly these words are used interchangeably, but the traditional standard usage made a distinction that you should at least be aware of.
