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.
