Write down the correct degrees of adjectives. | Positive | Comparative | Superlative | |---|---|---| | good | | | | old | older | oldest | | | | simplest | | much | | |
Answer (1)
In English, adjectives can have different forms to show comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative. Let's look at each one in detail:
Positive Degree : This is the base form of the adjective. It is used when no comparison is being made. For example, 'good' and 'old' are positive degrees.
Comparative Degree : This form is used to compare two things, often ending in -er for simple adjectives or using 'more' for longer adjectives. For example, 'older' is the comparative degree of 'old'. For the word 'good', the comparative form is 'better'.
Superlative Degree : This form is used when comparing more than two things, usually ending in -est for short adjectives or using 'most' for longer adjectives. For 'old', the superlative form is 'oldest'. The superlative form of 'good' is 'best'.
Let's complete the table with the correct forms:
PositiveComparativeSuperlativegoodbetterbest
old | older | oldest

much | more | most
These rules help in making comparisons and using adjectives correctly in sentences.
