Comparison of Adjectives

Comparison of adjectives involves modifying adjectives to express different degrees of a quality when comparing two or more nouns. There are three degrees of comparison in English: positive, comparative, and superlative.

1. Positive Degree: The positive degree of an adjective is the simplest form, and it is used to describe a noun without making a comparison. It is the base form of the adjective, as you find it in the dictionary. For example:
   

   • Positive: She is a happy person.

1. Comparative Degree: The comparative degree of an adjective is used to compare two nouns or describe one noun as having a greater or lesser degree of a quality than another. It is typically formed by adding "-er" to the adjective or using "more" before the adjective. For example:
   

   • Comparative (with "-er"): She is happier than her friend.

   • Comparative (with "more"): She is more intelligent than her classmates.

1. Superlative Degree: The superlative degree of an adjective is used to compare one noun to all others in a group and describe it as having the highest or lowest degree of a quality. It is typically formed by adding "-est" to the adjective or using "most" before the adjective. For example:
   

   • Superlative (with "-est"): She is the happiest person in the room.

   • Superlative (with "most"): She is the most creative artist in the gallery.

Here are some additional details and rules for forming the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives:

• For one-syllable adjectives, you generally add "-er" to form the comparative and "-est" to form the superlative. For example: fast (positive), faster (comparative), fastest (superlative).

• For one-syllable adjectives ending in "e," you remove the "e" before adding "-er" and "-est." For example: fine (positive), finer (comparative), finest (superlative).

• For one-syllable adjectives with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, you double the final consonant before adding "-er" and "-est." For example: big (positive), bigger (comparative), biggest (superlative).

• For adjectives with two or more syllables, you typically use "more" to form the comparative and "most" to form the superlative. For example: important (positive), more important (comparative), most important (superlative).

• Some adjectives are irregular and do not follow the typical rules. For example: good (positive), better (comparative), best (superlative).

• When comparing two things or people, use the comparative degree. When comparing one thing or person to a group, use the superlative degree.
