Degrees of Comparison Worksheet

In English, we use degrees of comparison to show how things are different in terms of their qualities. There are three degrees: positive, comparative, and superlative.

1. Positive Degree: This is the base form of the adjective. It describes one thing without comparing it to others. For example, “She is tall.”
2. Comparative Degree: This shows a comparison between two things. We usually add “-er” to the adjective or use “more” before it. For example, “She is taller than her brother.”
3. Superlative Degree: This shows the highest degree of quality among three or more things. We usually add “-est” to the adjective or use “most” before it. For example, “She is the tallest in her class.”

Some adjectives have irregular forms:

• Superlative: “best”

When changing degrees, remember:

• For short adjectives, add “-er” or “-est.”
• For longer adjectives, use “more” or “most.”
• Some adjectives are irregular and have special forms.
