Имена прилагательные в английском языке имеют три степени сравнения: положительную (the Positive Degree), сравнительную (the Comparative Degree) превосходную (the Superlative Degree). Степени сравнения односложных прилагательных образуются путем прибавления суффиксов к прилагательным в положительной степени: в сравнительной степени прибавляется суффикс -еr, в превосходной степени -суффикс - est. Listen, read and learn: Warm – warmer – the warmest Cold – colder – the coldest Clean – cleaner – the cleanest Kind – kinder – the kindest Tall – taller – the tallest

В написании удваивается конечная согласная буква, если односложное прилагательное оканчивается на одну согласную с предшествующим кратким гласным звуком: hot- hotter- the hottest big - bigger – the biggest fat – fatter- the fattest

Remember ! sunny – sunnier – the sunniest happy – happier – the happiest hungry – hungrier – the hungriest messy – messier – the messiest dirty – dirtier – the dirtiest

Конечная гласная е (немое е) опускается перед фиксами -еr, -est: large - larger – the largest white - whiter – the whitest nice – nicer -the nicest wide – wider – the widest late – later – the latest

Многосложные прилагательные образуют степени сравнения путём прибавления специальных слов к прилагательному в положительной степени: в сравнительной степени прибавляется слово more, в превосходной степени слово most.
