There are three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree compares two things as equal, using forms like "as interesting as". The comparative degree compares two things that are unequal, using forms like "hotter than" or "more comfortable than". The superlative degree compares one thing to two or more others, using forms like "the tallest" or "the most boring". The patterns for forming comparisons depend on whether the adjective has one syllable or more than two syllables. Some irregular adjectives have unique forms as well. Exercises are provided to demonstrate using these comparative structures.
