An adjective has
three degrees of
comparison, namely:

simply
describes a
person, place,

compares two persons,
places, or things.

degree, add -er for one
syllable adjectives.

more syllable
adjectives.

● When the adjective
ends in 'y' and has a
consonant before it,
we change 'y' into 'i'
and then add 'er' and
'est'.
Example: happy –
happier – happiest
● When the adjective
ends in a consonant
with a vowel before it,
we double the
consonant & then add
'-er' and '-est'
Example: hot – hotter –
hottest
Understanding degrees of
comparison is not limited to
the language domain but can
be integrated across various
subjects. For instance, in
mathematics, students can
compare numbers using
comparative adjectives, and in
science, they can compare
attributes of different
elements or organisms.
Let's explore how adjectives'
degrees of comparison extend
beyond language studies.
In
math:
• 70 is greater than 55.
• 40 is smaller than 70
but larger than 25.
• 55 is not as large as
70.
in science, let's compare
and contrast different
species using
comparative and
superlative forms.
• The cheetah is
faster than the horse.
• A rabbit is quicker
than a human.
• A cheetah is the
fastest land animal.
• A horse is faster
than a human, but not
as fast as a cheetah.
