Degrees of Comparison

- In grammar the degrees of comparison relate to adjective and adverbs.

- Degrees of comparison is a kind of a comparison used to compare something with another
thing or with the others using adjective to compare.
There are three ways you can compare adjectives

Positive Comparative Superlative

16
Examples :

1. Ali runs fast  Positive

Ali runs faster than Viko  Comparative
Dodi runs the fastest among them  Superlative
2. This flower is beautiful Positive
Rose is more beautiful than Jasmine  Comparative
Tulips are the most beautiful among of them Superlative

Some adjectives and adverbs are exceptions of these rules

Positive Comparative Superlative

Good Better Best
Bad Worse Worst
little less Least etc

ACTIVITY 1

Observe the following picture and discuss the questions.

Father is older than Adi

The color ball is bigger than the black ball Adi is younger than Father
The black ball is smaller than the color ball

 Rani Ulfa

Arif :_____________________________
6. Ulfa : What do you like about__________?
Tiara : _____________________________

18
To compare two things we can add – er than . . . or more . . . than.

Adjectives with two syllables ending in – y

stingy stingier than

friendly friendlier than

moody moodier than

Adjectives with two syllables ending in – ful or – ed

helpful more helpful than

spoid more spoiled than

Adjectives with more than two syllables

generous more generous than

independent more independent than

easy – going more easy – going than

Banana A is big than banana B The black cat is fat than that chocolate
Banana A is . . . . The black cat is . . . .
Banana C is . . . . The chocolate is . . . .

Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Adjectives are words that describe, identify, or quantify nouns and pronouns. They help
specify our writing by offering more details about nouns and pronouns.
Comparative Adjectives
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things—they help describe differences
between two nouns.

Comparative Adjective Sentence Formula

Comparative adjectives are generally used in the following sentence structure:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object)

Example Sentence

My television + is + bigger + than + my computer.

My television is bigger than my computer.

In some cases, the sentence will end after the comparative adjective and not include the
object of comparison. This structure is possible when the context has provided enough
information to make the comparison clear.
Example Sentence

My brother is 6 feet tall, but my father is taller. (“than my brother” is implied)

20
Superlative Adjectives

Superlative adjectives are used to compare three or more things. They help describe things on
either end of a spectrum (e.g., smallest and largest, tallest and shortest).
Superlative Adjective Sentence Formula
Superlative adjectives are generally used in the following sentence structure:
Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object)

Example Sentence
My English professor + is + the + smartest + person.
My English professor is the smartest person.

Just like comparative adjectives, the object of comparison can sometimes be left out.

Example Sentence
We took an exam in class today, and I scored the highest. (“in the class” is implied)
Creating Comparative and Superlative Adjectives
Changing an adjective into its comparative or superlative form depends on the number of
syllables in the base form of the adjective (e.g., small, tall, big).
One-Syllable Adjectives
The suffix -er will be added for comparative adjectives and -est for superlative adjectives.
When the adjective has a single vowel between two consonants (consonant + single vowel +
consonant), the second consonant will be doubled.

Example of a Comparative Adjective with a Single Vowel Between Two Consonants

Adjective: hot
h (consonant) + o (single vowel) + t (second consonant)
Comparative form: hotter
h (consonant) + o (single vowel) + tt (doubled second consonant) + er (comparative suffix)
In a sentence: The temperature is hotter today than yesterday.

21
 Adjective Comparative Superlative
fast faster fastest
cheap cheaper cheapest
fresh fresher freshest
big bigger biggest
sad sadder saddest
Two-Syllable Adjectives

For comparative adjectives, the suffix -er will be added, or it will be preceded by more. For
superlative adjectives, the suffix -est will be added, or it will be preceded by most.
Occasionally, both forms are used, but one will be more common. When in doubt, use more
or most instead of a suffix. For adjectives ending in y, the y will become an i, and the
appropriate suffix will be added.
Adjective Comparative Superlative
gentle gentler gentlest
clumsy clumsier clumsiest
happy happier happiest
anxious more anxious most anxious
polite more polite most polite

Three Syllables or More

Comparative adjectives will be preceded by more, and superlative adjectives will be preceded
by most.

Adjective Comparative Superlative

important more important most important
attractive more attractive most attractive
embarrassed more embarrassed most embarrassed
Irregular Adjectives and Exceptions
Although there are several rules for writing in English, these rules often have irregularities
and exceptions. Sometimes, the deviants follow a pattern that makes them easy to spot, but
this is not the case for comparative and superlative adjectives. Abnormal adjectives simply
have to be committed to memory.

Irregular adjectives
Adjectives are irregular when their comparative and superlative forms do not adhere to the
rules discussed in this handout. The chart below displays some examples of irregular
adjectives.

22
 Adjective Comparative Superlative
good better best
bad worse worst
little less least
much more most
far farther/further farthest/furthest

Exceptions
Adjectives are exceptions to the rules discussed in this handout when they simply do not have
a comparative or superlative form. Some examples include blind, unique, vertical, wrong,
left, intelligent, complete, perfect, etc.

Telling Phone Numbers

A. How to say telephone numbers in English
3692-5847
This is a telephone number.
In spoken English we normally say phone number instead of telephone number.
In English, we give telephones numbers by saying each individual number in it:
3692-5847 = three six nine two, five eight four seven.
B. How to say 0 in a phone number
When there is a 0 (zero) in the telephone number, there are two ways of saying it:
The most common way is to pronounce the Zero like the name of the letter O (oh).
5059-1023 = five oh five nine, one oh two three.
Sometimes in American English, the Zero is pronounced as Zero and not O.
5059-1023 = five zero five nine, one zero two three.
However, you will also hear people say OH instead of Zero in American English.

C. Consecutive numbers
If a phone number contains two of the same numbers together, we usually
say double (then that number):
5718-3369 = five seven one eight, double three, six, nine.
If a phone number contains three of the same numbers together, we usually
say triple (then that number):
2149-8777 = two one four nine, eight triple seven.
However in many movies or TV series, the phone number that appears starts with
555… and they say these numbers individually as five, five, five… and not triple five.
This is a fake phone number so people don’t call them. 555-3527 = five, five, five,
three five, two seven.

ACTIVITY 2

Read the following phone numbers.

1. 021 6729087

2. 0271 697644

3. 035 711042
