Answer 1

She is more intelligent than her husband.

• The sentence shows a direct comparison and therefore, the comparative form needs to be used.

• Adjectives can be of three degrees:

Positive, Comparative and Superlative

1. Positive degree doesn't directly compare with anything.

Example: hard, good, pretty, etc.

2. Comparative degree is used to compare between two entities or groups. It is used by adding a suffix 'er'.

Example: prettier, better, harder, etc.

3. Superlative degree is the highest level of comparison and used by adding a suffix 'est'.

Example: best, prettiest, hardest, etc.
