Degree Of Comparison Rules
Rule 1. When two items/people are compared, a comparative degree is used by putting ‘er’ to the adjective word in association with the word ‘than’. In some cases ‘more’ is used.
Comparative degree example:
She is smarter than her sister.
She is more cheerful than her sister.
Similarly, when more than two things/people are compared, the superlative degree is used by putting ‘est’ to the adjective word or in some cases ‘most’ is used.
Superlative degree of comparison examples:
He is the strongest wrestler.
He is the most handsome actor.
Rule 2. ‘More’ is used when you compare qualities of a single thing/person. Even if the first adjective is a single syllable word.
Degree of comparison examples:
Incorrect – She is smarter than clever.
Correct – She is more smart than clever.
Rule 3. Do not use double comparative adjectives or superlative adjectives.
Degree of comparison examples:
Incorrect – These mangoes are more tastier than those.
Correct – These mangoes are tastier than those.
Rule 4. Never use ‘more or most’ with adjectives that give absolute sense.
Degree of comparison example:
Incorrect – This track is more parallel to that one
Correct – This track is parallel and the other is not.
Rule 5. There are a few adjectives that are accompanied by ‘to’, like, senior, junior, superior, inferior, preferable, prefer, elder. Do not use ‘than’ with these adjectives.
Degree of adjective examples:
Incorrect: I am elder than her.
Correct: I am elder to her.
Incorrect – This car brand is superior than that.
Correct – This card brand is superior to that.
Rule 6. When comparing two things, similarity should be there, i.e. similar things should be compared.
Examples of degree of comparison:
Incorrect – This wall colour is more beautiful than the old one. (wall colour is compared with the wall)
Correct – This wall colour is more beautiful than that of the old one. (compare wall colour with wall colour)
Rule 7. When the comparative degree is used in the superlative degree sense
Use ‘any other’ when thing/person of the same group is compared.
Degree of comparison example:
Incorrect: Reena is smarter than any student of her class.
Correct: Reena is smarter than any other student of her class.
Use ‘any’ if comparison of things/person is outside the group.
Incorrect: Delhi is cleaner than any other city in Bangladesh.
Correct: Delhi is cleaner than any city in Bangladesh.
Rule 8. When in the same sentence two adjectives in different degrees of comparison are used, both should be complete in themselves.
Incorrect- She is as good if not worse than her sister.
Correct – She is as good as if not worse than her sister.
Rule 9. To show whether the difference between the compared thing/person is small or big, we use quantifiers for the comparative degree of an adjective such as (A bit, a little, a lot, far, much, a great deal, significantly, etc).
