Degrees of
Adjectives
At the end of the
lesson, you will use
adjectives of varying
degrees in making
comparisons.
(EN3G-IV-j-5.2)
What is an adjective?
Adjectives are words
that describe persons,
places, things, animals
and events. They tell
something about a noun.
Let us identify the adjectives
in each sentence.
1. This house is bigger than that one.
2. This is the prettiest dress in the
window.
3. My job is worse than yours.
4. He is taller than Mr. Hulas.
5. I lost my most comfortable shoes.
Adjectives have three
degrees of comparison.
Positive Degree
Comparative Degree
Superlative Degree
Positive Degree
- Signifies quality. It talks
about only one thing, and
it is not being compared
with another.
Examples:
Jaymie has long hair.
She has beautiful eyes.
She is tall.
Comparative Degree
- Signifies quality in greater
or lesser degree. Two things
are being compared.
- The suffix –er is added to
the adjective and followed by
the word than.
Examples:
The mouse is smaller than
the cat.
The cat is bigger than the
mouse.
Superlative Degree
- Signifies quality in greatest
or least degree. Three or
more items are being
compared.
- We follow the format the +
adjective + -est.
Examples:
Allan is the fastest runner
in our team.
He is also the tallest boy
in class.
These words show the adjectives in
their different degrees when used
in making comparison.
Positive Comparative Superlative
Degree Degree Degree
nice nicer nicest
pretty prettier prettiest
tall taller tallest
fast faster fastest
old older oldest
Let us read the paragraph
below.
Listening to your teacher can help you
become a good student. Doing your
homework and projects can help you achieve
better grades. Studying well and having a
balanced lifestyle can help you be your best in
class.
Some adjectives are irregularly
compared. Instead of adding –
er or -est, their spellings are
changed.
Positive Comparative Superlative
Degree Degree Degree
good better best
bad worse worst
little less least
Let us read following
sentences.
1. Ruby is more patient than Bella.
2. Dogs are more interesting than cats.
3. James is less industrious than Lucas.
4. Gilda is less diligent than Zeny.
5. Snakes are more dangerous than insects.
When comparing nouns using
adjectives with two or more
syllables, the words more and
most or less and least are added
before the adjective.
We use more or less in the
comparative degree, and most
or least in the superlative
degree.
REMEMBER
To describe, quantify, modify
or identify nouns/pronouns,
adjectives are used or reused.
Adjectives have their own
degrees called degrees of
adjectives or degrees of
comparison that compare one
thing/person to another.
REMEMBER
Adjectives have three degrees
of comparison –
✓ Positive degree of adjectives
✓ Comparative degree of
adjectives
✓ Superlative degree of
adjectives
