Degrees of Adjective

An adjective is a word modifies (tells us more about) a noun or a pronoun.
Examples:
hot tea, old man, beautiful girl, white shirt, intelligent student, interesting story, handsome boy, huge room.

In the above examples, ‘hot, old, beautiful, white, intelligent’ are adjectives because they modify (give more information about) the attached nouns.

Every adjective has its three degrees.

• Positive adjective
• Comparative Adjective
• Superlative Adjective

These three degrees of an adjectives express the intensity of adjectives in increasing order e.g. big – bigger, good – better – best.
1. A few adjectives change completely in the comparative and superlative forms. They are know as irregular adjectives.

2. If an adjective has more than two syllables, we form the comparative by using the adverb more/less and the superlative by using the adverb most/least. The adverbs are placed before the adjective.

Adjectives with exactly two syllabus can be formed in either way.

3. Adjectives with two syllabus ending in y form the comparative and superlative degrees with the suffixes.

Some adjectives only sound right with the suffixes.

Others only sound right with more and most.

4. If an adjective has one syllable (vowel sound), we form the comparative by adding the suffix ‘er’ and the
superlative by adding the suffix ‘est’ to the adjective.
