Adverb & its categories

Adjective & its categories

An adject is the quality of a noun or pronoun. i.e., The fat boy runs slowly. In this sentence the word "fat" is an adjective. An adjective has three degrees. These are:

Positive Degree

Comparative Degree

Superlative Degree

Positive Degree:

When an adjective is used without any reference. It has no relation with other nouns of the same category. For example:

He is a rich man.

                        You are a lazy boy.

                        She is an honest girl.

            Comparative Degree

When an adjective is used to compare the noun with another noun. But comparative degree of the adjective is used to compare only one noun. For example:

He is richer than his brother.

                        You are wiser that that boy.

                        This pen is better than that one.

Superlative Degree

When an adjective is used to compare the noun with all other nouns of the category. Remember that the superlative comparative degree of the adjective is used to compare the nouns with more than one nouns. For example:

He is richest man of the family.

                        You are wisest boy of the class.

                        This pen is the most beautiful than others.
