Degrees of Comparison
Degrees of comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.

There are three Degrees of Comparison in English.
They are:
  • Positive degree
  • Comparative degree
  • Superlative degree
1. The positive degree is used to speak about only one person or thing.
Example:
  • The Penang Bridge is long.
  • Keannam Hanoi Landmark Tower is tall.
  • Sumatra Island is large.
2. The comparative degree is used to compare two persons or two things. It is always followed by than.
Example:
  • Mount Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar is taller than Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia.
  • The Penang Bridge in Malaysia is longer than the Thanlwin Bridge in Myanmar.
  • Lake Toba is larger than Towuti Lake.
* Most adjectives: + -er

3. The superlative degree is used to compared a person or thing with a group. 
Example:
  • The Mekong River is the longest river in Southeast Asia.
  • The Tonle Sap is the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia.
