Let us now look at each of the above-mentioned degrees of comparison in detail.
The positive degree of comparison is basically the original form of the adjective. This degree does not allow you to make any comparison. It only gives the audience the information about a particular quality possessed by a noun.
For example:
Lisa is happy.
This dress is pretty.
He looks handsome.
Meena is tired.
The sun is bright.
The comparative degree of comparison is used to compare between two nouns that have the same quality or the particular quality of a noun at two different times We form the comparative degree by adding er at the end of a word. If the word ends with y we have to change the letter y to i then add er
For example:
Tina looks sadder than Katie.
This bed is more comfortable than the other bed.
The sun is brighter than yesterday.
Your hair is longer than hers.
My brother is taller than me.
My sister is prettier than me.
The superlative degree of comparison is the highest degree of comparison. It is used to compare the similar qualities shared by more than two nouns. It is form by adding est at the end of a word. If the word ends with y we have to change the letter y to i then add est
We climbed the highest mountain.

Sanjana is the tallest girl in our gang.
