Comparison (grammar)
Comparison, in grammar, is a property of adjectives and adverbs.
Adjectives and adverbs take three degrees, such as kind, kinder, kindest.
The first degree is positive:
- Bill is kind.
The second degree is comparative:
- Bill is kinder than Joe.
The third degree is superlative:
- Bill is the kindest man I have ever known.
Likewise, the use of more as in more quickly is comparative,
and the use of most as in most quickly is superlative.
