Adjectives describe qualities of nouns. Some of them can change in degree or intensity. When we want to make comparisons we contrast qualities or attributes by means of adjectives in their various degrees.

The positive degree of adjectives is the quality in the simplest degree. For example: Angry, bad, big, blue, etc.

Comparative degree is by making comparisons, we can highlight the superiority, inferiority or equality of quality of one to another. The structure of each of these degrees of comparison is different.

Comparatives of superiority is when the adjective, which is in comparative form, is followed by "than". For example: Angrier than, worse than, bigger than, etc.

The superlative degree denotes quality in the highest degree and "the" is used before the adjective in the superlative form. For example: The angriest, the biggest, the worst, etc.

There are some rules to form the comparative and superlative.

1. For adjectives with one syllable: add: “-er” in comparative and “-est” in superlative.

2. For one-syllable adjectives that end in “e”: add: “-r” in comparative and “-st” in superlative.

3. For one-syllable adjectives that end in a consonant + vowel + consonant: add: consonant + “-er” in comparative and consonant + “-est” in superlative.

4. For two-syllable adjectives that end in “y”: substitute “y” for: “-ier” in comparative and substitute “y” for: “-iest” in superlative.

5. For adjectives of two or more syllables: add: "more" for comparative and "the most" for superlative.

6. Irregular adjectives: better, worse and further as a comparative and best, worst, furthest as a superlative.
