Comparison is an area of grammar, where most students make errors,
although it is not a verycomplicated topic. In this lecture, we
will cover different aspects of comparisons in details.Comparisons
indicate degrees of difference with adjectives and adverbs, and may
be equal or unequal.Adjective or Adverb changes in form to show the
comparison. They are called the three Degrees of Comparison.The
Positive Degree of an Adj. is the Adj. in its simple form. It is
used to denote the mere existence ofsome quality of what we speak
about. It is used when no comparison is made.He is as ferocious as
a tiger.The Comparative Degree of an Adj. denotes a higher degree
of the quality than the Positive, and is usedwhen two things are
compared.Haruns mango is sweeter than Rahims.The Superlative Degree
of an Adj. denotes the highest degree of the quality, and is used
when more than twothings are compared.This boy is the strongest in
the class.Positive Comparative SuperlativeGreat Greater
GreatestPoor Poorer PoorestRich Richer RichestStrong Stronger
StrongestTall Taller Tallest
