Introduction

This work was given to us to do at home in a group talk about:

Adjectives are essential in English, used to describe and modify nouns or pronouns. However,
did you know that adjectives can also have different degrees depending on the level of
comparison they convey? Read on and learn more.

The comparative degree of adjectives is a form of an adjective used to compare two things. It
indicates that one thing has more or less of a particular quality or characteristic than the other
being compared.

When comparing more than two nouns or pronouns, the degree is said to be superlative, and
the article “the” is used before the superlative adjective. After the superlative adjective,
the prepositions “of” and “in” are generally used.

1.1 Discuss about the degrees of adjective and superlative

Degrees of adjectives and their types

The degree of adjectives is often used to compare the similar qualities of two or more nouns.
The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative, and superlative. Let’s learn a bit
about them in detail.

Positive degree of adjective

The positive degree of adjectives is the basic form of an adjective and is used to provide
information about the quality or characteristic of the noun it is modifying. It describes a noun
or pronoun without making any comparisons to other nouns or pronouns.

Comparative degree of adjective

The comparative degree of adjectives is a form of an adjective used to compare two things. It
indicates that one thing has more or less of a particular quality or characteristic than the other
being compared.
To form the comparative degree, we generally add “-er” to the end of a one-syllable adjective
or use “more” + the adjective for adjectives with two or more syllables, and the word “than”
is generally used after.
Sentence formation in this degree: noun or pronoun (i.e., a subject) >< verb (what subject is
doing) >< comparative adjective >< “than”>< noun (i.e., an object).

Superlative degree of adjective

When comparing more than two nouns or pronouns, the degree is said to be superlative, and
the article “the” is used before the superlative adjective. After the superlative adjective,
the prepositions “of” and “in” are generally used.

Sentence formation in this degree: noun or pronoun (i.e., a subject) >< verb (what subject is
doing) >< superlative adjective >< “the”>< noun (i.e., an object).

Isha. child in the house.

2.1 what do you understand by longer adjectives

Longer adjectives

Adjectives of three or more syllables form the comparative with more/less and the superlative
with most/least:

The second lecture was more interesting than the first.

Not: The second lecture was interestinger …

That way of calculating the figures seems less complicated to me.

London is the most popular tourist destination in England.

Not: London is the popularest …

If you are going as a group, the least expensive option is to rent an apartment or villa.

Definition of an Irregular Verb

An irregular verb is defined as “a verb that does not follow the usual rules of grammar. For
example, ‘eat’ is an irregular verb because its past tense is ‘ate’ and its past participle is
‘eaten’, not ‘eated’,” according to the Macmillan Dictionary. According to the Oxford
Learners’ Dictionary, an irregular verb is a verb that is “not formed in the normal way.” The
normal way of forming past and past participle forms of a verb in English is by adding ‘ed’ to
it. Irregular verbs do not follow this rule.

Conjugating Irregular Verbs – Rules and Examples

Learning to conjugate irregular verbs can be a little tricky. It is often considered a difficult
task, but that is not the case. Before we start, try to unlearn the concepts or notions about
irregular verbs you have in your mind. Let us start from the beginning with a fresh and clear
mind.

The conjugation of irregular verbs can be learnt under three main groups based on how they
behave when changed to represent the simple past and past participle forms.

It can be grouped as follows:

 Group 1 – Irregular verbs which take the same spelling as the base verb in the simple
past form and the past participle form. These verbs remain the same throughout all
tense forms.

 Group 2 – Irregular verbs which have the same spelling in the simple past form and
the past participle form. There are some irregular verbs in this group that take an
alternate spelling too.

 Group 3 – Irregular verbs which have three different spelling patterns in the base form,
the simple past form and the past participle form.

Let us now look at the list of irregular verbs which fall under the three groups to have a better
understanding.

Conclusion

Finally, we conclude that the adjective is a class of words that attributes characteristics to
nouns, that is, it indicates their qualities and states. These words vary in gender (feminine and
masculine), number (singular and plural) and degree (comparative and superlative).

NB: We had doubts about some things at work but finally we realized this.
