Adjectives are used to describe some quality of the person, place, or thing that we are talking about. So
sometimes, the extent—or the degree—of that quality needs to be mentioned in comparison with that same
quality in another object.
Positive degree: This is the adjective in its simple form. It is used simply to denote the existence of a
particular quality in the person, place or thing that we are talking about.
▪ My suitcase is heavy.
Comparative degree: This is the form of the adjective that describes a higher degree of that
particular quality than the positive degree. It is used when two objects are being compared.
▪ My suitcase is heavier than yours.
Superlative degree: This is the form of the adjective that describes the highest degree of that
particular quality. It is used when more than two objects are being compared.
▪ My suitcase is the heaviest of all.
[ Sometimes the comparative degree is formed by using the word ‘more’ before the positive degree.
[ If the words ‘more’ and ‘most’ are used before an adjective, they are adverbs but doing the work of an
adjective by qualifying that adjective.
[ Some adjectives are compared irregularly, that is, their comparative and superlative degrees are not
formed from their positive degree.
