 There is no comparison for positive

 The comparative is used to compare two things
 The superlative is used to compare three or more things
 The suffixes ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ are added to the positive adjectives to form most
comparatives and superlatives. However, ‘-ier’ and ‘-iest’ are needed when a two-
syllable adjective ends in ‘y’.
 When an adjective of one syllable ends in a single consonant, double the consonant
for the comparative and superlatives forms. However, letters ‘-w’ and ‘-x’ are not
doubled.
