Read the following poem. Take note of
the underlined words.
All Things Bright and Beautiful
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all
Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors
He made their tiny wings
The underlined words in the poem give us an
idea of how all things, all creatures, each flower,
each bird, colors, and wings look like. They are
words that describe nouns or pronouns. They
are called adjectives.
Every adjective has three degrees of its own.
They are: positive, comparative, and superlative
degrees.
The positive degree makes no comparison. The
comparative degree compares two people,
things, actives or qualities. The superlative
degree compares a person, thing, activity or
quality with the group.
Some adjectives have different forms of comparative and superlative.
They do not end with –er and –est. When there is a complete change
in the spelling of comparative and superlative degrees, they are called
irregular adjectives. Look at the sample irregular adjectives in the
table below.
How to Use Comparative and
Superlative Irregular Adjectives
• The word “than” is used after irregular
adjectives in the comparative degree.
Examples: Lisa is better singer than Karen.
Her dancing is worse than her singing. He
has less experience than the other singers.
• Superlative irregular adjectives are typically
accompanied by the word “the.” Examples:
Jona is the best singer in the competition.
He is the worst singer according to the judges.
He has the least singing experience among the
contestants.
