We would then use superlative degree in comparing the

Would you please tell me how many syllables does the

word heavy has?

What can you say about the changing from positive degree
to comparative degree with one syllable?

How about the word cold?

What can you say about the changing from positive degree
to comparative degree with two syllables?

Let say angry.

 Two syllables adjectives form the comparative degree by
changing to word with –er in the ending of the word or
adding more before the word.

More angry or angrier

How about changing from comparative degree to

superlative degree?

Three syllables adjectives form the comparative degree by

changing to word with –est in the ending of the word or
adding “most” before the word.

Let’s have the word intelligence.

We therefore need to say more intelligent or most

intelligent.
