    1. The document defines and compares the positive, comparative, and superlative degrees in English grammar. 2. In the positive degree, two things are compared at the same or comparable level using just the adjective/adverb. In the comparative degree, one thing has more of the quality than the other using adjective/adverb + -er or more. In the superlative degree, one thing has the most of the quality using adjective/adverb + -est or most. 3. The use of -er/-est or more/most depends on the number of syllables in the adjective/adverb, with 1 or 2 syllable words usually using -er/-est and 2+ syllable
