In age, we have old, new, young, fresh, mature. We also have in taste such as sweet,

number, we have five, many, few, several, million. In quality, we have strong, durable,
expensive, metallic, wooden. And lastly, in character trait, we have kind, humble,
helpful, generous, joyful. And here are some examples of adjectives that are used in the
sentence. The sky is blue. Blue is the adjective in the sentence. An elephant is a big
animal. Big is the adjective in the sentence. Our new dining table is round. Round is the
adjective in the sentence. The fruits and vegetables are fresh. Fresh is the adjective in
the sentence. Now, let us proceed to our lesson, the Degrees of adjectives.
Degrees of adjectives are used in describing and comparing persons, places, or things.
The degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative, and superlative degrees. Positive
adjective describes one person, place, or thing. Comparative adjective compares two
persons, places, or things. Superlative adjective describes the one among other
persons, places, or things.
What is Positive Degree of Adjective? The positive degree of adjective is used to
describe one person, place, or thing. Example: The carabao is very big. My school bag
is new. The words big and new are in the positive degree of adjective.
How about the ComparativeDegreeofAdjective?The comparative degree of adjective
is used to compare the quality of two persons, places, or things. It is formed by adding
-r or -er or more to the positive degree of adjective. The words than and compared to
is used indicate comparison and that the comparative degree is used. There are rules
we follow in using –r or –er in comparative degree of adjectives. Number one. If the
positive adjective ends in e, add -r to form the comparative adjective.
Examples: cute – cuter, white – whiter
Number two. 2. If the positive adjective ends in a consonant preceded

by a short vowel, double the consonant and add -er to form the comparative adjective.
Examples: hot – hotter, red – redder
Number three. If the positive adjective ends in a consonant blend, add -er to form the
comparative adjective. Examples: cold – colder, soft – softer
Number four. If the positive adjective ends in y preceded by a consonant, change y to i
then add -er to form the comparative adjective.
Examples: shiny – shinier, yummy – yummier
Here are some examples of comparative degree used in a sentence.
First example: My school bag is newer than my shoes. We add –er to the positive
adjective new. Second example: The carabao is bigger than the goat. The comparative
adjective in the sentence is bigger. According to the rule, if the positive adjective ends
in a consonant preceded by a short vowel, double the consonant and add -er to form
the comparative adjective. And also, the word than in the sentence shows that
comparative degree is used.
Superlative Degree of Adjective is used to describe the person, place, or thing with the
highest quality among others. The superlative degree is formed by adding -est or most
to the positive degree of adjective. The words of all, among the indicate that the
superlative degree is used. Here are the rules in using –st or –est. Number one. If the
positive adjective in e, add -st to form the superlative adjective.
Examples: cute – cutest, white– whitest. Number two. If the positive adjective ends
in a consonant preceded by a short vowel, double the consonant and add -est to form
the superlative adjective. Examples: hot – hottest, red– reddest
Number three. If the positive adjective ends in a consonant blend, add -est to form the
superlative adjective. Examples: cold – coldest, soft – softest
Number four. If the positive adjective ends in y preceded by a consonant,

change y to i then add -est to form the superlative adjective.
Examples: shiny – shiniest, yummy– yummiest. Here are some examples of using
superlative adjective in a sentence. The carabao is the biggestof allanimals in the farm.
The superlative adjective is biggest. It is formed by adding –est to the adjective big. And
the word of all indicates that superlative degree is used. Second example: Our teacher
is the tallest of all people in our school. We add –est to the positive adjective tall to
make it superlative degree. And the word of allindicates that superlative degree is used.
And now, let us read examples on the table showing the degrees of comparison. In
Positive degree, the word is big.Its comparative is bigger,and the superlative is biggest.
New, newer, newest; tall, taller, tallest; small, smaller, smallest; old, older, oldest;
short, shorter, shortest; young, younger, youngest; warm, warmer, warmest; cold,

Degrees of Comparison, let’s do an entertaining exercise. Ready your paper/notebook,
pen and of course your module. (PAUSE) Directions: Identify the degree of each
adjective. Write P if it is positive, C ifit is comparative, and S if superlative. For example:

of adjective is positive. Now, it’s your time kids! Are you ready? Let’s begin.
Number one. Our alarm clock is louder than my ringtone. Again, our alarm clock is
