Types of Degree

Positive Degree
1.

Formation : The positive degree of adjectives doesn’t involve any comparative or

superlative forms. It’s the base form of the adjective.

2. Usage : Positive adjectives are used in sentences where there is no comparison being
made. They simply describe the noun without indicating whether it’s better or worse than
another noun.

3. Examples : Here are some examples of positive adjectives used in sentences:

- Big: “The elephant is big.”

- Happy: “She is a happy person.”
- Beautiful: “The sunset is beautiful.”
- Intelligent: “He is an intelligent student.”
- Tall: “The tree is tall.”
- Kind: “She is a kind soul.”

Comparative Adjectives:

Comparative adjectives are used to compare two

things, people, or groups. They indicate a higher or
lower degree of the quality described by the adjective.

1. Formation : There are two main ways to

form comparative adjectives:
- For short adjectives (usually one or two
syllables), add “-er” to the end of the adjective:

- Example: fast → faster

- For longer adjectives (usually two or more

syllables), use “more” before the adjective:

- Example: interesting → more interesting

2. Usage : Comparative adjectives are used when

comparing two nouns. They often appear in sentences
 with “than” to indicate the thing being compared
against.
- Example: “My car is faster than yours.”

Superlative Adjectives:
Superlative adjectives are used to compare three or
more things, people, or groups. They indicate the
highest or lowest degree of the quality described by
the adjective.

1. Formation : Like comparatives, there are

two main ways to form superlative adjectives:

- For short adjectives (usually one or two syllables),

add “-est” to the end of the adjective:
- Example : fast → fastest

- For longer adjectives (usually two or more

syllables), use “most” before the adjective:
- Example: interesting → most interesting

2. Usage : Superlative adjectives are used when

comparing three or more nouns. They often
appear with “the” before the adjective to
indicate that it is the highest or lowest in
degree.

- Example: “Mount Everest is the tallest

mountain in the world.”
