Comparison of Adjectives
An adjective comes in three degrees - positive, comparative & superlative
degree.
 Positive degree denotes quality of a person, thing or group. It is used
when no comparison is made.
 when two things are compared, comparative degree is used
 Superlative degree is used to choose one out of a group of many.
eg:- He is a good boy
He is better than him.

Some Correct Uses of Adjective

1. If adjective of size, colour, age etc. come together in a sentence, they


should follow the sequence of -
Opinion Size Age Shape colour Origins Material Purpose
eg : beautiful old square brown Indian wooden dining table.

2. Two comparative and two superlative degree never come together


eg; She is the most cleverest of all students. x
She is the cleverest of all students. √
3. Possessive case comes after 'All' and 'Both’ are not before them.
eg: My with parents are working. X
Both my parents are working. √

4. If ‘the’ is used before adjective, it becomes a plural common noun and


it will take a plural verb.
eg:-The honest are rewarded

5. If tow adjectives are used for a single noun/pronoun and both are
connected by conjunction, both of them must be in some degree
eg:- Mother's love is the realest and purest form of love.
