The positive degree of an adjective is the simple form. ('My cat was fat.')
The comparative degree compares two things. (Peter's cat was fatter than mine.')
The superlative degree compares three or more things and indicates which of them displays more of the adjective than any of the others. ('David's cat was the fattest of all.')
Most regular short adjectives form the comparative by adding 'er' (doubling the final consonant if necessary) and the superlative by adding 'est' (also doubling the final consonant if necessary).
Longer adjectives, and some short ones, place 'more' and 'most' in front of the positive degree.
Examples:
'I thought the Grand Canyon was wonderful, but the Great Wall of China was more wonderful.'
'Mary was the most bookish member of her family.'
It is incorrect to use the superlative degree when only two things are being compared.
Examples:
'Which is the better tie to wear with this shirt - the grey one or the blue one?' (Not 'Which is the best tie ...')
'Anna was the elder of the two sisters' (Not ' ... the eldest of the two sisters.')
The positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb (not the comparative or the superlative).Example adjective:good = positive degreebetter = the comparativebest = the superlativeExample adverb:much = positive degreemore = the comparativemost = the superlative
