1.Presentation:
Degrees of Comparison?
In the English language, a degree of comparison is a
form of adjective that is used to compare a person or thing
possessing the same quality with another. It is related to
the adjective or adverb in a sentence. The Collins
Dictionary defines the ‘degree of comparison’ as “the
listing of the positive, comparative, and superlative forms

3. of an adjective or adverb.” In other words, it can be said
that one can use the degree of comparison to make a
comparison between nouns having comparable quality or
qualities
The Three Degrees of Comparison in English Grammar
As you have already seen, the degrees of comparison are
used to make comparisons. In English grammar, there are
three degrees of comparison and they are,
I. Positive Degree of Comparison
II. Comparative Degree of Comparison
III. Superlative Degree of Comparison
I. Positive Degree of Comparison
The positive degree of comparison is basically the original
form of the adjective. This degree does not allow you to
make any comparison. It only gives the audience the
information about a particular quality possessed by a
noun.
For example:
 Lisa is happy.
 This dress is pretty.
 He looks handsome.
 The sun is bright.
 positive degree is what you use when you’re describing
an equal state between two object
 I want to look as beautiful as my mother.

4.  You should practice football as often as you can.
 Ayale looks as handsome as Yohanis.
ii. Comparative Degree of Comparison
The comparative degree of comparison is used to
compare between two nouns that have the same quality or
the particular quality of a noun at two different times. It
shows which one of the two has the greater or lesser
degree of the particular quality being referred to.
 . It is mostly indicated by the addition of ‘-er’ to the
end of the adjective.
 The comparative degree of comparison is always
indicated by the addition of ‘than’ after the
comparative form of the adjective.
For example:
 This bed is more comfortable than the other bed.
 Your hair is longer than hers.
 My brother is taller than me.
iii. Superlative Degree of Comparison
The superlative degree of comparison is the highest
degree of comparison. It is used to compare the similar
qualities shared by more than two nouns. It shows which
of these nouns being compared has the greatest or least
degree of the mentioned quality or qualities.
It is indicated by the use of the article ‘the’ before the
adjective and the addition of ‘-est’ to the end of the
adjective.

5. For example: Eko is the laziest student in my school
 The last group was the best of all.
 The Himalayas are the longest mountain ranges.
Rule of positive, comparative and superlative degree
Rule 1 – Doubling the final consonant of a monosyllabic
adjective and adding ‘-er’ and ‘-est’.

or one of the parts into which a word can
be separated, usually containing a vowel;
Eg . big-bigger-biggest, fat -fatter-fattest, using cvc
Rule 2 – Adding -ier’ and ‘-iest’ to adjectives ending in ‘y’
Eg.heavy-heavier-heaviest,wealthy-wealthier-wealthiest
Rule 3 – Adding ‘more’ and ‘most’ to polysyllabic
adjectives
Eg .famous-more famous –most famous
Careful-more careful –most careful
Rule 4 – Irregular adjectives
Good –better –best
Bad –worse -worst
Far-further-further
Rule 5 – Adding ‘-r’ and ‘-st’ to adjectives ending e’

6. Eg .close-closer-closest
