Письмо Барбары. Повторение степеней сравнения прилагательных

In the English language we have got three degrees of comparison: positive (положительная), comparative (сравнительная) and superlative (превосходная).

First let`s revise one and many of the two–syllable adjectives. (повторим прилагательные, состоящие из 1 и многие, состоящие из 2 слогов)

Positive (или положительная) degree – it`s a normal description.

Look: a bid globe.

Comparative (или сравнительная) we compare two things,

Look: A bigger globe. In this case we add suffix –er.

And finally, superlative (или превосходная): выделяется из группы предметов.

Look, this globe is the biggest. We add article the and suffix –est.

One more example:

A small globe, a smaller globe (suffix –er in our comparative degree) and the smallest globe (caмый маленький) the and suffix –est.

Here we have to remember that there are some exceptions you have to remember. They are:

Now let`s revise some two–and more syllable adjectives (некоторые прилагательные, состоящие из 2 и более слогов)

Positive degree: our adjective.

Look: interesting – интересный

Comparative: we put more before the adjective.

Look: a more interesting (более интересный)

And finally: our superlative degree.

We add the most before the adjective. Look:

The most interesting – самый интересный
