DEGREES OF ADJECTIVES
The form of an adjective is often changed to show the extent of degree to which a certain
quality is present. In grammar, this degree in form to show a difference in degree is called
comparison.
• Positive degree – shows that the quality is present, but it does not show a
comparison with anything else.
• Comparative Degree – shows that the quality expressed by the adjective exists to
a greater or to a lesser degree in one of the two persons or things that are being
compared.
• Superlative Degree – indicates that the quality (expressed by the adjective) is
possessed to the greatest or to the least degree by one of the persons or things
included in the comparison.
Degree of Comparison
Adjectives of One Syllable
POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE
neat neater neatest
sharp sharper sharpest
dark darker darkest
keen keener keenest
long longer longest
Adjectives of two or more syllables are usually compared by prefixing the words more and
most to the simple form of the adjective.
More is used to indicate the comparison between two persons or things.
Most is used to indicate the comparison between more than two persons or things.
Less and least are used in a similar way.
POSITIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE
fragrant more fragrant most fragrant
difficult more difficult most difficult
precious more precious most precious
famous more famous most famous
beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
generous more generous most generous
