Key Notes :

🌟 1. Understanding Degrees of Comparison

  • Adjectives can describe the quality of a noun.
  • Degrees of comparison help compare two or more things.
  • There are three degrees:
    • Positive degree – describes one thing (e.g., good, bad)
    • Comparative degree – compares two things (e.g., better, worse)
    • Superlative degree – compares three or more things (e.g., best, worst)

🎯 4. Tips for Using Comparisons Correctly

✅ Use “better” and “worse” when comparing two things.
✅ Use “best” and “worst” when comparing three or more things.
✅ Don’t double the comparison — ❌ “more better” or “most worst” is incorrect.
✅ Some adjectives, like “good” and “bad,” don’t follow the regular -er or -est pattern — they are irregular.
