Comparison of Adjectives


Comparison of Adjectives



What does comparison of Adjectives mean?

Many adjectives express attributes/qualities of an object or add meaning to nouns in three different ways. Thus there are three degrees of comparison.


Positive Degree

Comparative Degree

Superlative Degree

 

Positive Degree

Positive degree represents the simple quality of an object without reference to any other.

 

For eg.

He is a brave man

She owns a beautiful house.

She is an able lady.

 

Comparative Degree

The comparative degree shows a higher degree of the quality of an object and is used when two objects of same kind or class are compared.

 

For eg.

He is braver than I.

She owns more beautiful house than yours.

She owns more beautiful house than mine.

She is abler than you.

I am older than her or I am older than she (is).

She is older than I.

 

Superlative Degree

The superlative degree shows the highest degree of quality of an object and is used when one object is compared with all other objects of same kind or class.

 

For eg.

He is the bravest of all.

She owns the most beautiful house.

She is the ablest lady.

I am the oldest of all.

She is the oldest of all.


Hopefully the comparison of adjectives is completely explained in this write-up.
