Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about degrees of adjectives comparatives.
Let's get started.
Remember that an adjective is a word or set of words that modifies In other words describes a noun or
pronoun.
Remember that adjectives may come before or after the word they modify.
Have a look at the example over here.
This is a cute cat.
This cat is cute.
Note that the word cute is an adjective and it is used to modify or describe the noun cat and in the
first sentence note that the adjective cute comes before the noun cat and in the second after the noun
cat
now most adjectives can show a degree of quality or quantity by forming two degrees of comparison.
The comparative and superlative now These degrees are formed from the positive degree which is the usual
form of adjectives.
Have a look at the examples below.
Let's start with the positive degree for example.
This is a tall building compared to form this building is taller than that one and the superlative.
This is the tallest building now to form a comparative sentence.
We use the following formula noun or pronoun as the subject plus verb plus a comparative adjective plus
then plus noun or pronoun as the object of the sentence.
Have a look at the example below.
My room is larger than Jake's my room.
Being the subject is verb Niger comparative adjective then takes the object remember that sometimes
the second item of comparison can be admitted as in the example below.
If you start working out you'll get thinner.
No second item in the sentence.
Now when an adjective ends with one syllable you simply add E R to form the comp..
For example smart smarter and when an adjective ends with a vowel plus a consonant we don't the continent
and then add e r.
For example take bigger and when an adjective ends with a consonant plus a y we keep the consonant then
change White ie and then add E R for example dry drier.
Now when an adjective ends with two syllables we simply add e r or we add more for example happy happier
tangled more tangled and when an adjective ends with three syllables you simply add more for example
beautiful more beautiful.
Now let's have a look at the following table where we can see how we can form the comparative and the
super native forms of irregular adjectives positives good comparative form of good better superlative
the best bad comparative for is superlative the worst far comparative farther further super native the
farthest the furthest little comparative less superlative the least much or many comparative more superlative
the most.
