degrees
The adjectives in English have three degrees: positive, comparative and superlative. The
positive degree is the normal, ie: small (pequeño), then we have the comparative degree and
the superlative degree.
Comparison adjective
In English, there are two types of comparative adjectives: comparative equality and
comparative superiority.
Come with adjectives comparative superiority, which in English follow this rule:
If the adjective of the comparison has one or two syllables, the comparison of superiority
continues to this rule:
Adjective in degree than positive er ... (more adjective ...)
Ex.: James is the workshop than Peter. (James is taller than Peter).
If the adjective of the comparison has more than two syllables, the comparison of
superiority continues to this rule:
Adjective more in degree than positive ... (More adjective ...).
Ex: The tale is more interesting than the novel (The story is more interesting than the
novel).
There are several adjectives that do not follow this rule and therefore their comparative
forms of superiority are irregular, ie: good (good / a) better than (most good / better), bad
(bad / a), worse than (more bad to worse than), far (far), further than (that farthest, etc.).
In English, adjectives superlatives express the maximum degree of an adjective and follow
these rules:
If the adjective has one or two syllables, the formation of the superlative adjective follows
this rule:
The Adjective est ... (The adjective more ...)
Ex.: James is the tallest in the classroom. (James is the highest in class).
If the adjective has more than two syllables, the formation of the superlative adjective
follows this rule:
The most adjective ... (The adjective more ...)
Ex.: John is the most intelligent boy in this room. (James is the smartest guy in this room).
There are some adjectives that form the superlative with no follow no rules, for example:
good (good / a), the best (the best), bad (bad / a), the worst (the worst), far (far away / a),
the furthest (the farthest, etc.).
