ADJECTIVES

ADJECTIVES

Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much more specific, adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple 
adjectives.

What are the Degrees of Adjectives?

There are only three degrees or levels of adjectives (also known as degrees of comparison) namely, positive,comparative, and superlative. When you talk about or describe only a single person, place, or thing, you should use the positive degree.

• She is a beautiful lady.

If on the other hand, you are comparing two persons, places, or things, it is appropriate to use the comparative degree of the word. 

• Ashley is more intelligent than Aldrin.

if you are comparing more than two things, the superlative form of the adjectives should be used and the word “the” should be added before the adjective

• This is the most crucial match of the season.
