DEGREES OF COMPARISON

Denny Davis
15/09/2019 0 0

Nouns or pronouns can be compared using adjectives.

There are three degrees of comparison.

Positive degree describes only one noun.  Here there is no comparison.

Example:

                   Preethi is a tall girl.  (positive degree)

Comparative degree describes two nouns so as to compare them.  Add ‘er’ to the adjective and use than.

Example:

                 Sindhu is taller than Preethi. (comparative degree)

Superlative degree describes three or more nouns for comparison.  Add ‘est’ to the adjective and use ‘the’.

Example:

                  Jyothi is the tallest girl of all. (superlative degree)
