The three degrees of English language are known as positive, comparative, and superlative. These degrees are used to describe the degree of comparison between two or more nouns or pronouns.
Positive
degree:
The
positive degree is the basic form of the adjective or adverb and does not
compare one thing to another. It simply describes the quality of a noun or
pronoun.
Examples:
1)
The cat is cute.
2)
She sings well.
3)
The house is big.
In
these examples, "cute", "well", and "big" are
used in their basic form to describe the quality of the noun or pronoun.
Comparative
degree:
The
comparative degree is used to compare two things or people and is formed by
adding -er to the end of the adjective or adverb. If the adjective or adverb is
longer than two syllables, then "more" is used before the word.
Examples:
1)
The cat is cuter than the dog.
2)
She sings better than her sister.
3)
The house is bigger than the apartment.
In
these examples, "cuter", "better", and "bigger"
are used to compare the qualities of two nouns or pronouns.
Superlative
degree:
The
superlative degree is used to compare three or more things or people and is
formed by adding -est to the end of the adjective or adverb. If the adjective
or adverb is longer than two syllables, then "most" is used before
the word.
Examples:
1)
The cat is the cutest animal in the shelter.
2)
She sings the best out of all her friends.
3)
The house is the biggest one in the neighborhood.
In
these examples, "cutest", "best", and "biggest"
are used to compare the qualities of three or more nouns or pronouns.
It
is important to note that irregular adjectives and adverbs have different forms
in each degree of comparison. For example, the irregular adjective
"good" has the comparative form "better" and the
superlative form "best". Similarly, the irregular adverb
"well" has the comparative form "better" and the
superlative form "best".
