Degree of comparison




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

An adjective is a word like clever, beautiful, green, hungry, brave, which is used when we describe people, things, events etc. Adjectivesare used in connection with noun and pronouns

Adverbs are words like tomorrow, daily, badly, once and too. They tell us more about other words, especially verbs.

Sometimes adverbs modify adjectives.
