Degree of Comparison
Adjectives can be used to compare people,
animals, places, things and groups.
Generally we get the comparative and superlative

degree form of an adjective by adding –er and –
est to its base form.i.e positive degree.
sweet sweeter sweetest
soft softer softest
Adjectives which end in e, form their comparative and superlative
degree form by the addition of –r and –st.
brave braver bravest
fine finer finest
For adjectives ending in y, the y is changed into I before adding –er
and –est for the comparative and superlative forms.
pretty prettier prettiest
lazy lazier laziest
Sometimes, for adjectives ending in a single consonant such as t, d, g,
n, etc., the last consonant is doubled before adding –er or –est to get
the comparative and superlative degree forms of the words.
hot hotter hottest
thin thinner thinnest
For longer adjectives, more is used for the comparative degree form
and most for the superlative degree form.
famous more famous most famous
difficult more difficult most difficult
Degrees of Comparison
