CHAPTER I
PRELIMINARY
A. Background
In English grammar, words used to describe and give more information about the
nouns in a particular sentence or context are called adjectives. Sometimes, there might be
more than one noun that possesses the same quality as another one or sometimes, even
better than one or more of the other nouns involved. In order to compare similar qualities,
we can make use of degrees of comparison. In this article, you will learn the definition of
degrees of comparison, the different degrees of comparison, how they can be used and the
rules to be followed when using them along with examples that you can refer to.
Lisa is happy.
This dress is pretty.
He looks handsome.
Meena is tired.
The sun is bright.
The first thing that you should remember about degrees of comparison is that they are
used to compare adjectives and adverbs.
The positive degree of comparison is the base form of the adjective or adverb and
does not allow any comparison.
The comparative degree of comparison is used to compare two nouns that possess or
do not possess the same qualities. It is mostly indicated by the addition of „-er‟ to the
end of the adjective.
The comparative degree of comparison is always indicated by the addition of „than‟
after the comparative form of the adjective.
The superlative degree of comparison is used to show which of the nouns possess the
greatest or least of the quality or qualities. It is indicated by the use of the article „the‟
before the adjective and the addition of „-est‟ to the end of the adjective.
Make sure you retain the adjuncts that are there in the sentence when you are using
the comparative or superlative degree of comparison
She is pretty. She is prettier than her sister. She is the prettiest.
Sam is intelligent. Sam is more intelligent than Tina. Sam is the most
