🔹 Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives |
1️⃣ Positive Degree 😃
- Shows a simple quality of a noun.
- Example: This car is fast. 🚗💨
2️⃣ Comparative Degree 😎
- Used to compare two nouns.
- Add -er to short adjectives or use more for longer ones.
- Example: This car is faster than that one. 🚗 > 🚙
3️⃣ Superlative Degree 🏆
- Used to compare three or more nouns.
- Add -est to short adjectives or use most for longer ones.

🔹 Rules for Comparison 📘✍️ |
✨ One-syllable adjectives → add -er / -est
- tall → taller → tallest 🏔️
- fast → faster → fastest 🏃

✨ Irregular adjectives (special forms)
- good → better → best 👍
