Degrees of Adjectives (comparative & superlative)

Adjectives have three degrees: positive, comparative (compares two), and superlative (compares three or more).

PositiveComparativeSuperlative
talltallertallest
bigbiggerbiggest
beautifulmore beautifulmost beautiful
goodbetterbest (irregular)

Ali is taller than Sara. (comparative — two)

This is the tallest building. (superlative — all)

Short words add -er/-est; long words use more/most. Use than with comparatives and the with superlatives.

Common mistake: "more taller" or "most tallest" (double comparison). Use only one: taller, tallest.
