Adjectives have degrees of comparison. The different degrees are Positive, Comparative and Superlative. Below are the explanations of these three degrees and an example for each. Notice how the sentence seems similar in nature. This is to show you how close these degrees of comparison can be and to give you an understanding of how they can be used.
Positive adjectives simply describe nouns. “Our school is small”. In this sentence, we have given our school a description. It is small.
When using the Comparative adjective, you are comparing an object, people or places to another. In the sentence “Your school is smaller than ours”, we are comparing two schools. Your school and our school. You should know by the Comparison adjective whose school is big and whose school is small.
A Superlative adjective is used to compare two or more objects. You might think it is the same as the adjective I just explained. But let’s look at why it is different. The sentence “Their school is the smallest” tells us that at least two schools have been compared, and theirs is the most small.
