Definition Degree of Comparison

Degree of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.

There are three Degree of Comparison in English:

1. Positive degree : when we speak about only one person or thing, we use the positive degree
2. Comparative degree : when we compare two persons or two things with each other, we use both the positive degree and comparative degree.
3. Superlative degree : when we compare more than two persons or things with one another, we use all the three positive, comparative and superlative degree
