Adjectives have three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative and superlative.
- The positive form is used when no comparison is made.
- The comparative form is used to compare two nouns. You need to add -er to the adjectives of comparison and the word than after that. Examples:
1. I am older than my sister.
2. He is taller than the teacher.
- The superlative form is used to compare three or more nouns. You need to add -est to the adjectives and the in front of it. Examples:
1. Reza is the smartest boy in class.
2. Kasturi is the prettiest among her sisters.
