Degrees of comparison of adjectives

There are three degrees of comparison of adjectives. 

1. The positive degree is used when simply describing persons or things. Examples: The atis tree is tall. Anita is young. Chicos are expensive. Carlo is intelligent.

2. The comparative degree is used when comparing two person or things. Examples: The ipil-ipil tree is taller than the atis tree. Josephine is younger than Anita. Mangoes are more expensive than chicos. Alex is more intelligent than Carlo. Rule!

* The Comparative degree of adjectives with one or two syllables is formed by adding er. Examples: brighter, louder, nearer, narrower, funnier * The comparative degree of adjective with two or more syllables is formed by adding more before the adjective.  Examples: more obedient, more comforable, more responsible, more studious, more industrious. Note that the word than follows the comparative form.  Examples:

Celia is prettier than Doris. Water is more refreshing than juice. 3. The superlative degree is used when comparing three or more persons or things. Examples:  The acacia tree is the tallest of all them. Irene is the youngest of them all. Grapes are the most expensive of the three. Eric is the most intelligent of the three. Rule: 

* The superlative degree of adjectives is formed by adding est to the adjective. Examples: longest, thinnest, loudest, highest, darkest * The superlative degree of adjective with two or more syllables is formed by adding most before the adjective. Examples: most courteous, most beautiful, most intelligent  The article the preceded the superlative form. Example: Dado runs the fastest.  Christy is the most responsible person in the class.
