Degrees of Comparison.

Степени сравнения.

Имена прилагательные в английском языке имеют три степени сравнения:

положительную (the Positive Degree),

сравнительную (the Comparative Degree),

превосходную (the Superlative Degree).

Сравнительная и превосходная степени образуются двумя способами:

а) посредством прибавления суффиксов,

б) с помощью специальных слов.

1. Степени сравнения односложных (простых) прилагательных образуются путем прибавления суффиксов к прилагательным в положительной степени: в сравнительной степени прибавляется суффикс -er, в превосходной степени - суффикс -est:

short - shorter - shortest

2. Второй способ образования степеней сравнения заключается в прибавлении специальных слов к прилагательному в положительной степени: в сравнительной степени прибавляется слово more, в превосходной степени - слово most.

Этим способом образуются степени сравнения большинства производных и всех сложных прилагательных:

useful - more useful - most useful
