    The positive, comparative and superlative degrees

    An adjective can exist in three forms positive, comparative and


    superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The
    comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The
    superlative form expresses the highest degree.

    Comparative adjectives are used to compare a noun to another noun


    such as this truck uses more gas than this car. Superlative
    adjectives are used to compare three or more nouns and show which is
    best such as hot, hotter and hottest.
