 Adjective - Degree of Comparison

Degree of Comparison
Adjectives are words we use to describe a noun or pronoun. It is a word
which qualifies (shows how big, small, great, many, few, etc.) a noun or a
pronoun is in a sentence.

Adjectives are usually placed just before the words such as naughty boy,
blue umbrella, rotten apple, four coins etc.

Now read the following sentences:

1.   Rahat is a tall boy.

2.   Hari is taller than Rahat.

3.   Avi is the tallest of the three.

The Adjective ‘tall’ is in the Positive Degree. Here adjective is in simple form
and represents the presence of some quality in the thing or person we speak
about. It simply tells us “how Ram is” and there is no other person or thing
in this sentence used to compare Ram with. Positive Degree is used when no
comparison is made i.e. when we speak about only one person or thing.

The Adjective “taller” is said to be in the Comparative Degree. It represents

a higher degree of the quality than the Positive. It is used to compare the
qualities of two persons or things. Here height of Hari and Ram are
compared and shows the difference of quality between the two.

The Adjective “tallest” is said to be in the Superlative Degree. It represents

the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two objects are
compared.

So, there are three Degrees of Comparison.

1. Positive degree.

2. Comparative degree.

3. Superlative degree.
 Note:

      1.   “Than” is used after the Comparative Degree. “The” is used before the
Superlative Degree.

      2.   Do not use the Double Comparative and Superlative, such as more
better and most loveliest.

      3.   A few Comparative are followed by “to”, instead of than; as, inferior to,
superior to, junior to, senior to.

      4.   Each, every, either, neither, when used as Adjectives, go with singular
Noun. Example- Every boy was punished.
