Degrees of Adjectives for Class 4
We know that adjectives are words that describe nouns or pronouns.
●a tall tree
●a happy baby
●an important person
Tall, happy, and important are all adjectives.
When we wish to compare things with the help of adjectives, we use degrees of comparison. There are three degrees of comparison – the positive degree, the comparative degree, and the superlative degree.
| The positive degree | is used to describe people, places, animals, or things. ● Roy is tall. ● Lata runs fast |
| The comparative degree | is used to compare two persons, places, animals, or things. We use than after the comparative Adjectives. ●Roy is taller than Sam. ●Lata runs faster than Reema. |
| The superlative degree | is used to compare three or more persons, places, animals, or things. ●Roy is the tallest boy in class. ●Lata is the fastest runner in school. |

Usually, to make comparative and superlative forms of adjectives, we add -er or -est to the positive form.

Degrees of Adjectives for Class 4 Rule 5
5 For some adjectives, the comparatives and superlatives are not formed by adding -er or -est, or more and most. They are different words altogether.
| good | better | best |
| bad | worse | worst |
| far | further | furthest |
| little | less | least |
| much/many | more | most |
Note – We often use ‘the’ with the superlative forms of adjectives.
●Rohit is the most talented singer I know.
●The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa.
