INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the paper

Understanding and applying comparative degrees is a crucial aspect in learning

English. The degree of comparison allows us to compare two or more entities or
actions, and it is an important element in speaking, writing and understanding
English effectively. This paper aims to investigate and explore the concept of
levels of comparison in English and why a deep understanding of this topic is so
important.

English is a language that is rich with varying degrees of comparison, both in the
form of adjectives and adverbs. By understanding how these levels of comparison
function, English speakers can express more precise comparisons in a variety of
contexts, such as comparing two objects, describing changes, or expressing
preferences.

The importance of understanding the level of comparison also lies in its influence
in everyday communication. In conversation, academic writing, or business
presentations, the ability to use levels of comparison appropriately strengthens
one's communicative abilities, making messages clearer, persuasive, and
influencing. Therefore, this paper aims to detail the concept of degrees of
comparison, examine different types of degrees of comparison, and explore their
importance in understanding and using them in diverse English language contexts.

Example:

This sentence indicates that the car the speaker drives is identical in model to the
listener's car.

Here, the interests of the speaker and the interests of "theirs" are identical.

 Her dress is the same color as the flowers in the garden.

The color of her dress matches the color of the flowers in the garden.

located in the library.

(noun) + as" is used to establish similarity or identity between two entities or
objects.
