Degrees of adjectives (positive, comparative, Superlative)

Adjectives present the comparative and therefore the superlative degrees of comparison.

These forms are generally formed by tracking on the inflectional suffixes “-er” and “-est”, as explained within the following positive/comparative/superlative sets: fast/faster/fastest, much/more/most, strong/ strong/stronger/strongest. Note, though, that some adjectives form the comparative and therefore the superlative from two different roots, e.g. good/better/best, bad/worse/worst

 

Adjectives Positive degree:

It means one object or person and place without making a comparison.”Positive degree” may be a term that describes adjectives and adverbs. An adjective or adverb that doesn’t make a comparison is claimed to be of a positive degree. (In other words, the “positive degree” is that the normal sort of an adjective or adverb.)

Adjectives Comparative degree:

Comparative Adjectives are words that will not describe a noun by comparing it to a different noun. We usually recognize ‘er’ words like bigger or smaller, but they will be a touch trickier than that.

The way we form comparative adjectives is predicated on the number of syllables within the adjective and whether or not the adjective ends with the letter ‘y’.

Adjectives superlative degree:

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. It can give us knowledge such as the size or span of a noun. Adjectives describe an opinion about a noun or describe that how anyone is feeling. superlative use in adjectives to compare to more than two people, places, or things. Superlative adjectives mean that one noun is distinct from the other. For example,

“Huzaifa is the tallest boy” in the group.

“This painting is the most beautiful in all”.

“He is the happiest student in my class”.

Superlative adjectives set in English It depends on how several syllables the adjective has. For one-syllable adjectives, we add “the” and “-est” to the adjective.

 

Positive ADJECTIVE	COMPARATIVE	SUPERLATIVE
Big	Bigger	Biggest
Tall	Taller	Tallest
Small	Smaller	Smallest
Hot	Hotter	Hottest

 

Gradable Adjectives:

Gradable adjectives are common adjectives that may have levels of difference in them. for example, the adjective ‘cold’ is gradable – you’ll be extremely cold, quite cold, and even not in the least cold.

By combining the adjective with adverbs like ‘extremely’, ‘quite’, and ‘not at all you’ll show the degree of the adjective getting used.

1. I am very happy to see you
2. The dog was completely dead when the vet arrived.
3. To make coffee, the water should be very boiling.
4. Are you sure? / Yes, I’m quite certain.
5. It’s really cold outside. In fact, it’s nearly freezing

Non-Gradable Adjectives:

 

This adjective means “Very” plus Adjective, which describes qualities that are completely present or completely absent. They do not occur in comparative and superlative forms, and also not use with adverbs such as very or extremely because we do not usually imagine degrees of more or less of the quality being described, They are referred to as non-gradable adjectives
