The degrees of comparison of adjectives are
adjectives?
positive degree, comparative degree and
superlative degree.

When we speak about only one person or

thing, what can we used? We use the positive degree.

How about Comparative degree? When we compare two persons or two things
with each other.
There are 4 ways that you can change for
example
“large” to the comparative degree:
What do we add to form comparative •Add “er” to the end of the word
degree? •Add “more” to the front of the word.

•Change “y” to “i” and add er.

What can we do if the words ends with letter –
y? • word ending with vowel consonant double
And, if the words end with the vowel the letter ending before adding the –er
consonant.
•Add “est” to the end of the word
What about the superlative degree? •Add “most” to the front of the word.

•Change “y” to “i” and add est.

What can we do if the words ends with letter –
y?
And, if the words end with the vowel • word ending with vowel consonant double
the letter ending before adding the –est
consonant.
