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.

BAB II
CONTENT
A. Positive Degree of Comparison
The positive degree of comparison is basically the original form of the adjective.
This degree does not allow you to make any comparison. It only gives the audience the
information about a particular quality possessed by a noun.
For example:

 Lisa is happy.
 This dress is pretty.
 He looks handsome.
 Meena is tired.
 The sun is bright.

B. Comparative Degree of Comparison


The comparative degree of comparison is used to compare between two nouns that
have the same quality or the particular quality of a noun at two different times. It shows
which one of the two has the greater or lesser degree of the particular quality being
referred to.
For example:

 Tina looks sadder than Katie.


 This bed is more comfortable than the other bed.
 The sun is brighter than yesterday.
 Your hair is longer than hers.
 My brother is taller than me.

C. Superlative Degree of Comparison


The superlative degree of comparison is the highest degree of comparison. It is
used to compare the similar qualities shared by more than two nouns. It shows which of
these nouns being compared has the greatest or least degree of the mentioned quality or
qualities.
For example:

 We climbed the highest mountain.


 The last group was the best of all.
 The Himalayas are the longest mountain ranges.
 Sanjana is the tallest girl in our gang.
 Adharsh is the most silent boy in class.
- Rules and Points to Use Degrees of Comparison

 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

Examples of Degrees of Comparison :


Take a look at the following examples of how degrees of comparison can be used.

- List of Degrees of Comparison


Before you look at examples, just keep in mind that the rule to add „-er‟ and „-est‟ to form the
comparative and superlative degree of comparison does not remain the same with every
adjective. The different types include,

 Type 1 – Doubling the final consonant of a monosyllabic adjective and adding „-er‟
and „-est‟.
 Type 2 – Adding „-er‟ and „-est‟ to monosyllabic adjectives in which the last
consonant is preceded by another consonant or two vowels.
 Type 3 – Adding „-r‟ and „-st‟ to adjectives ending in „e‟.
 Type 4 – Adding -ier‟ and „-iest‟ to adjectives ending in „y‟.
 Type 5 – Adding „more‟ and „most‟ to polysyllabic adjectives.
 Type 6 – Irregular adjectives

CLOSING
A. Conclusion
From the explanation above, it can concluded that a degree of comparison is a form
of adjective that is used to compare a person or thing possessing the same quality with
another. It is related to the adjective or adverb in a sentence. The Collins Dictionary defines
the „degree of comparison‟ as “the listing of the positive, comparative, and superlative forms
of an adjective or adverb.” In other words, it can be said that one can use the degree of
comparison to make a comparison between nouns having comparable quality or qualities.
