The Degrees of Comparison in English
grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small,
high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and
positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others
mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.
An Adjective is a word which qualifies (shows how
big, small, great, many, few, etc.) a noun or a pronoun is in a sentence.
An adjective can be attributive (comes before a noun) or predicative (comes in the predicate part).
Kinds of comparison:
The Positive Degree
Used to denote the mere existence of
quality. The Positive Degree of an adjective in comparison is the
adjective in its simple form. It is used to denote the mere existence of some
quality of what we speak about. It is used when no comparison is made.
Examples:
·
He is as tall as his
uncle.
·
Najlia is as smart as
Rania.
·
You are as small as my
sister.
·
Apple
is sweet to taste.
The Comparative Degree
Used to compare the qualities of two
persons or things. The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a
higher degree of the quality than the positive. It is usedwhen two
things (or two sets of things) are compared.
Examples:
·
This house is bigger
than that one.
·
This flower is more
beautiful than that.
·
He is more intelligent
than this boy.
·
He is taller than Mr.
Hulas.
·
This house is bigger
than any other house in this street.
The Superlative Degree
Denotes the existence of the highest
degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared. The
Superlative Degree is used when more than two nouns or things are compared.
Examples:
·
This is the biggest
house in this street.
·
This flower is the
most beautiful one in this garden.
·
He is the most
intelligent in this class.
·
He is the tallest
student in this class.
·
Apple
is the sweetest fruit.
