Adjectives
Let's refresh a bit of grammar . Today I chose a very simple topic - and that is adjectives .
We all know that describing words are called Adjectives.
They tell us the qualities of nouns and pronouns.
We compare qualities of people and things using adjectives.
Adjectives have three degrees, Positive, Comparitive and Superlative degrees.
How do we use these degrees let me tell you-
* When we state the qualities of a person or a thing, we use the positive degree.
*When we make comparison between two persons or things we use the Comparative degree.
*When we make comparison among more than two persons or things, we use the Superlative degree.
Let's see these words
Hot is in the positive degree ,while hotter is comparative degree and hottest is in the superlative degree. So is with the other adjectives .
Some words have irregular comparative and Superlative degrees, let look at these words too -
Late later latest(shows time)
latter last(shows position)
Old older Oldest
elder eldest
far farther farthest
(shows distance)further furthest.
Sometimes we use adjectives wrongly. We do not need two comparatives or two superlatives.
For eg.
Incorrect correct
more better better
more brighter brighter
most deepest. deepest
more greener greener
