DEGREES OF THE ADJECTIVE

How to identify them?

Adjectives are the words that modify or qualify nouns. One of their main characteristics is that
they can modify a single noun

Gramatical rules
1-One-syllable adjectives

• Comparative degree: -er is added: cleaner (cleaner)

• Superlative degree: It is added -est: cleanest (the cleanest).

2-Adjectives of one syllable ending in -e

• Comparative degree: –r is added: nicer (more pleasant)

• Superlative degree: -st is added: nicest (the nicest).

3-Adjectives of one syllable with the structure consonant + vowel + consonant

•Comparative degree: Its last consonant is doubled and –er is added: hotter (hotter)

• Superlative degree: Its last consonant is doubled and -est is added: hottest (the hottest).

4-Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y

•Comparative degree: The -y is changed to -i + -er: funnier (more fun)

•Superlative degree: The -y is changed by -i + -est: funnest (the funniest).

5-Adjectives of two or more syllables

• Comparative degree: It has the structure more/less (more/less) intelligent (intelligent)

• Superlative degree: It has the structure the most/the less (the most/the least) intelligent
(intellige

6-Irregular adjectives

This class of positive adjectives did not demonstrate the above rules and have their own
comparative and superlative adjectives.

•Comparative grade: Better (better)

• Superlative degree: Best (the best)

bad

•Comparative degree: worse (worse)

°Superlative degree: worst (the worst)

Some adjectives do not present variations of intensity, so they do not have comparative and
superlative structures. Some examples son:

dead

excellent (excellent)

Unique (unique), among others.

Adjectives in English can vary depending on the degree or intensity that we want to express. In this
way, if we simply want to attribute a quality to something or someone, we use the adjective in its
simple form.

. In English we would have to use the adjective comparatively. This form can be:

*of superiority

*Inferiority

*of equality

Superiority
We must bear in mind that in this type of comparison we will always place "than" after the
adjective.

Thus, to form short comparative adjectives of superiority, we only have to add the suffix “-er” and
accompany them with “than” in the sentence. If the adjective already ends in "e", just add the
letter "-r" at the end:

Long → Longer

cold → colder

Large → Larger

Nice → Nicer
When the adjective is short and ends in a consonant preceded by a vowel, the consonant is
doubled (if the consonant is already doubled, it is not changed):

Hot → Hotter

Tall → Workshop

Big → Bigger

For adjectives ending in “y”, the end of the word becomes “ier” by deleting the “y”:

Happy → Happy

Tiny → Tinier

Merry → Merrier

For long adjectives, we put “more” in front, without forgetting to add “than” after.

Beautiful → More beautiful than

Expensive → More expensive than

Uncomfortable → More uncomfortable tan

Inferiority
To build this kind of comparison we can use the conjunctions “not as…as” or “less…than“. In both
cases, the adjective remains in its simple form.

Equality
To form sentences comparing objects in a degree of equality, we must use the formula “as … as”
keeping the adjective also in its simple form.

Irregular comparative and superlative adjectives

There are a few adjectives that do not follow the rules that we have just explained, we call them
irregular. Fortunately, they are few and easy to remember:
