Head-on

The three Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives

1. Positive Degree - adjectives are use only to describe one thing, person, animal or
place. Hence, it shows no comparison, and the adjective is in its simplest form.
Examples:
She lived in a big house.
They created a long line.
It was a delicious cake.

2. Comparative Degree - adjectives are use to compare two persons, animals, places
or things. We add -er to the adjective to show comparison. If the adjective has two or
more syllables, the word more or less is used before the adjective.
Examples:
She lived in a bigger house.
They created a longer line going to the cafeteria.
She baked a more delicious cake than Martha.
She baked a less delicious cake than Martha.

3. Superlative Degree - adjectives are use to compare more than two persons, animals,
places, or things are being compared. Add -est to the adjective to show comparison. If
an adjective has two or more syllables, the word most or least is used before the
adjective.
Examples:
His house is the biggest in the village.
Their line was the longest.
Roy’s cake is the most delicious cake in town.
Roy’s cake is the least delicious cake in town.

Additional rules to remember:

1. We add -er or -est to most one or two syllable words that end in consonants
Example: bright - brighter - brightest / near - nearer - nearest

2. We add only -r or -st to adjectives that end in letter -e

Example: safe - safer - safest / brave - braver - bravest

3. We drop the -y and add -ier or -iest to adjectives that end in consonant+y.
Example: pretty - prettier - prettiest / friendly - friendlier - friendliest

4. When the adjective is a one syllable word that ends in vowel-consonant-vowel, we

double the last letter and add -er or -est.
Examples: red - redder - reddest

5. When the adjective is long(has three or more syllables), we add more and most
before the adjective.
Examples: difficult - more difficult - most difficult / nutritious - more nutritious - most
nutritious
