The concept of degrees of comparison
In accordance with their general grammatical meaning, qualitative adjectives have two degrees of comparison, showing the extent to which the attribute is manifested in the subject. These are comparative and superlative degrees of comparison.
Comparative adjective
The comparative degree of an adjective denotes a greater or lesser manifestation of a feature in a particular subject. For example:
This cake is sweeter than cake.
The comparative degree can be simple and compound.
A simple comparative degree is formed using the suffixes -ee-(-ee-), -e-, -she-/-same.
Beautiful - more beautiful
Wise - wiser
Before the suffix -e-, the consonants of the stem usually alternate:
Sweet is sweeter
Low - below
Adjectives in the form of a simple comparative degree do not change either by gender, or by cases, or by numbers. In sentences, they can perform the functions of a predicate and a definition. For example:
This city is more beautiful than our own.
Adjective more beautiful stands in the form of a simple comparative degree. In this sentence, it performs the function of a predicate.
Let's find a prettier place.
The same adjective in a simple comparative degree will be a definition.
Compound comparative degree is formed by adding words to the adjective more or less.
Sweet - more or less sweet
High - more or less high
Adjectives in the form of a compound comparative degree change by gender, number and case as follows: the first word - more or less- remains unchanged. And the second word changes:
To a higher
About the less beautiful
In a sentence, adjectives in the form of a compound comparative degree can be both predicates and definitions:
The weather is warmer today than a week ago.
In this sentence, we see that the adjective in the form of a compound comparative degree performs the function of a predicate.
Kolya liked the warmer water.
The same form of comparative degree would be a definition.
Remember:
The comparative degree of adjectives cannot be formed at the same time in a simple and compound way.
It would be erroneous to use the “sweeter” construction. The correct options are more sweet And sweeter .
Superlative Comparison of Adjectives
The superlative degree denotes the superiority of a given subject in comparison with the rest on any basis:
Everest is the highest peak in the world.
The superlative, like the comparative, can be simple and compound.
The simple form of the superlative degree is formed using the suffixes -eysh- or -aysh-:
Quiet - the quietest
Wise - the wisest
Adjectives in the form of a simple superlative degree of comparison can change in gender, number and case. In a sentence, they are both definitions and predicates.
Everest - the highest peak in the world.
Adjective highest is a definition.
This crater is the deepest.
Adjective deepest- predicate.
Compound superlatives of adjectives can be formed in two ways:
1. Adding words to the adjective most, most, least:
Smart is the smartest
High - the highest
In the form of a compound superlative degree with the word most by gender, cases and numbers, both words change:
To the smartest
About the most beautiful
In the form of a compound superlative degree with words most And least only the second word is changed:
about the highest
In a sentence, this superlative form can serve as both a predicate and a definition.
2. The word is added to the form of a simple comparative degree of the adjective Total if this is a comparison with inanimate objects, or a word all if this is a comparison with living objects or with a number of the same objects.
This house is the tallest in the area.
This house is taller than all the houses in the area.
This boy is the tallest in the school.
In sentences, such superlatives can only be predicates.
Remember:
The superlative degree of comparison of adjectives cannot be formed at once in a simple and compound way.
Forms like "deepest" are erroneous.
You need to use other forms of superlatives - either deepest, or deepest.

Qualitative adjectives (see) have a non-constant morphological sign of degrees of comparison.
School grammar indicates that there are two degrees of comparison - comparative and superlative. It is more correct to single out three degrees of comparison - positive, comparative and excellent. The positive degree of comparison is the original form of the adjective, in relation to which we are aware of other forms as expressing a greater / lesser or greater / lesser degree of a feature.
comparative
comparative adjective indicates that the feature is manifested to a greater / lesser extent in this subject compared to another subject ( Petya is taller than Vasya; This river is deeper than the other) or the same item in other circumstances ( Petya is taller than he was last year; The river is deeper here than there.).
The comparative degree can be simple and compound.
Simple comparative degree
Simple comparative degree denotes a greater degree of manifestation of the trait and is formed as follows:
- base of positive degree + formative suffixes -her(s), -e, -she/-same (fast, higher, earlier, deeper);
- if there is an element at the end of the base of a positive degree To /OK, this segment is often truncated: deep - deep;
- some adjectives are suppletive, i.e. formed from another base, forms: bad - worse, good - better.
When forming a simple comparative degree, a prefix can be attached By- (newer). Simple comparative degree with a prefix By- is used if the adjective occupies the position of an inconsistent definition ( Give me a new newspaper) and does not require the introduction into the sentence of what the given feature is compared with. If there is in the sentence both what is being compared and what is being compared, the prefix By- introduces a colloquial tone ( These shoes are newer than those).
Morphological features of a simple comparative degree are uncharacteristic of an adjective. These signs are:
1) immutability;
2) the ability to control a noun;
3) use mainly in the function of the predicate ( He is taller than his father). A simple comparative degree can occupy the position of definition only in a separate position ( Much taller than the other students, he seemed almost an adult) or in a non-isolated position with a prefix By- in position after a noun ( Buy me fresher newspapers).
Composite comparative degree denotes both a greater and a lesser degree of manifestation of a feature and is formed as follows: element more / less + positive degree ( more / less high).
The difference between a composite comparative degree and a simple one is as follows:
1) the composite comparative degree is wider in meaning, since it denotes not only a greater, but also a lesser degree of manifestation of a feature;
2) the composite comparative degree changes in the same way as the positive degree of comparison (initial form), i.e. by gender, number and case, and can also be in short form ( more handsome);
3) a composite comparative degree can be both a predicate and a non-isolated and isolated definition ( A less interesting article was presented in this journal. This article is less interesting than the previous one..)
Superlatives
Superlatives comparison indicates the largest / smallest degree of manifestation of the trait ( highest mountain) or to a very large / small degree of manifestation of the trait ( kindest person).
The superlative degree of comparison, like the comparative one, can be simple and compound.
simple superlatives
simple superlatives Comparison of an adjective denotes the highest degree of manifestation of a feature and is formed as follows: the basis of a positive degree + formative suffixes -aysh- / -aysh-(after k, g, x, causing alternation): good-eysh-th, Supreme
When forming a simple superlative degree of comparison, the prefix can be used nai-: kindest.
The morphological features of a simple superlative degree of comparison of adjectives are the same as those of a positive degree, i.e., variability in gender, number, cases, the use of a definition and a predicate in the syntactic function. Unlike the positive degree, the simple superlative adjective does not have a short form.
Compound Superlative comparison of adjectives denotes both the greatest and the least degree of manifestation of a feature and is formed in three ways:
1) element the most + positive degree ( the cleverest);
2) element most / least+ positive degree ( most/least smart);
3) simple comparative degree + element total / all (He was smarter than everyone).
The forms of the compound superlative degree, formed by the first and second methods, have morphological features characteristic of a positive degree, i.e. they change according to gender, numbers and cases, they can have a short form ( most convenient), act both as a definition and as a nominal part of the predicate. Compound superlative forms formed in the third way are invariable and act mainly as a nominal part of the predicate.
Not all qualitative adjectives have degrees of comparison, and the absence of simple forms of degrees of comparison is observed more often than the absence of compound forms.
The absence of a simple comparative and superlative degree may be due to
1) with the formal structure of the adjective: if the adjective has a suffix that matches the suffixes of relative adjectives, it may not have a simple comparative degree ( emaciated - * thinner, * thinner, advanced - * more advanced);
2) with the lexical meaning of the adjective: the meaning of the degree of manifestation of the attribute can already be expressed in the basis of the adjective - in its root ( barefoot - *barefoot) or in suffix ( fat-enn-th - * thicker, evil-shinning - * furious, white-oval - * whitish, blue-enk-th - * bluer).
Compound forms of degrees of comparison are not formed only for words with a semantic restriction, that is, in the second case. Yes, no forms. *more feisty, *less whitish, but there are forms less emaciated, more advanced.

Adjectives and adverbs in many languages of the world have degrees of comparison. In English these are Positive Degree, Comparative Degree and Superlative degree, in Polish - rywny, wyższy, najwyższy, in French - le positif, le comparatif, le superlatif. The Russian language was no exception, it has a positive, comparative and superlative degree of adjectives. How do they differ and what are their forms?
Degrees of comparison: types, table
The ability to form degrees of comparison is possessed by adjectives and adverbs formed from them.
There are three of them:
- Positive.
- Comparative.
- Excellent.
Each of them expresses a different level of possession of an object or a particular quality.
For example: resourceful boy ( positive), but it can be more resourceful ( comparative), and in a certain life situation, even become the most resourceful ( excellent).
What adjectives form degrees of comparison?
As you know, all adjectives in the Russian language are divided into several categories.
- Qualitative - means signs that an object or a living being can have in different degrees: sweet, sweeter, the sweetest.
- Relative - they call the signs of an object or living being in their relation to circumstances, actions or other persons, things: a telephone call, a wooden building.
- Possessive - testify to the belonging of something to someone: Pushkin's stanza, father's parting words.
Only from the first category can a comparative and superlative degree of adjectives be formed (charming - more charming, the most charming), since one cannot say: “a more wooden building” or “the most Pushkin stanza”.
Adverbs that come from the qualitative category of adjectives can also form degrees of comparison: peppy - peppy (more peppy).
Comparative degree of adjectives in Russian
Before proceeding to consider the comparative degree, it is worth mentioning a little about the positive. This is the name of the initial degree of comparison (boring). In fact, it is considered a degree of comparison only formally. But the next is the comparative degree of the adjective (more boring, more boring). It serves to show that a certain object or person has a given quality in more / less quantity than someone / something else. For example: "This tea is stronger (stronger) than the one we drank yesterday."
Information about comparative forms
In the above example, you can see that the comparative degree in Russian can be formed in the following ways: with the help of suffixes or by adding an additional word (in this example, it is “more”). It turns out that we can distinguish 2 forms of the comparative degree of adjectives in Russian: simple and compound, or, as it is sometimes called, complex.
Ways to form a simple shape
There are several ways to form it.
- With the help of suffixes -ee, -ee, -e, -she added to the base: peppy - more peppy. However, it is worth remembering that if suffixes of the comparative degree of adjectives -e, -she are used, then alternation of consonants at the root of the word may occur, and suffixes -k, -ok, -ek can be completely abolished. For example: narrow - narrower, sonorous - louder.
- Sometimes a simple form can be formed by adding all the same -her, -her, -e, -she, as well as the prefix on-. For example: soon - quickly, quickly - quickly. Adjectives formed in this way, as a rule, are the lot of colloquial speech.
- Sometimes the comparative degree of adjectives in Russian is formed using a different stem of the word: bad - worse.
It is worth remembering that a simple form can not be formed from every quality adjective. It so happened historically that it is simply impossible to form it from some words. For example, from such adjectives as "tall" or "business". After all, you can’t say: “bigger” or “more businesslike”.
Unlike the positive, the simple comparative degree has no ending and does not change. For example, the adjective "light" changes by gender and number: "light", "light", "light", etc. In addition, it is inflected for cases. But the comparative degree of the adjective - "lighter", is unchanged.
In this form, the words, as a rule, perform the syntactic role of the predicate: "Words of love are sweeter than honey", and in some cases - definitions: "Make the jam sweeter."
complex shape
Unlike a simple one, it is formed not with the help of suffixes or prefixes, but by adding the words "more" or "less" to the adjective in a positive degree. For example: "Rembrandt was a more brilliant artist than most of his contemporaries, but he was truly appreciated years after his death."
Adjectives in a complex form decline in cases, change in numbers and, accordingly, in gender, while "more" and "less" remain unchanged. For example: more powerful (powerful, powerful, powerful).
Both in simple form and in compound form, comparative adjectives in a sentence act as predicates or definitions: "Their relationship was closer and more elevated than that of anyone around."
Having considered the information on the comparative degree, it is now worth moving on to the study of the superlative. And it will help not to forget how the comparative degree of adjectives is formed - a table.
It briefly outlines all the information about simple and complex forms and their formation.
Brief information about superlatives of comparison
It serves to demonstrate that a certain object or living being is absolutely superior to any other in a certain quality, which is represented by them in the highest measure.
For example: "The house of the third piglet was the most durable and the wolf could not destroy it."
A little about superlatives
Knowledge of how the simple and complex comparative degree of adjectives is formed will help to deal with this topic. In the case of a superlative degree, both of its forms have similar names: simple and compound (complex) and are formed according to the corresponding principle.
They are formed according to the same principle:
- A simple one is formed by adding the suffixes -eysh, -aysh to the stem: caring - caring. Similarly with the comparative, the superlative can also have the stem suffix -k: low, inferior. A word formed with a simple superlative form declines in cases and changes in numbers and genders. While the comparative degree of an adjective in a simple form is devoid of this property. For example: "light". As mentioned above, in comparative form it is invariably - "lighter". But in the superlative degree - “the brightest”, it can change: “the brightest”, “the brightest”.
- The compound (complex) form is formed by adding the words "most", "least" or "most" ("most", "most", "most") to the adjective in a positive degree. For example: the brightest, the least entertaining, the most funny. In some cases, the comparative degree of the adjective plus the word "all" may also participate in the formation. For example: "This girl completed the task the fastest in the class." As with the compound comparative, the adjective in the superlative changes in the same categories. And the additional words: "most" or "least" remain unchanged: "The wolf ran the shortest way to Grandma's house and got ahead of Little Red Riding Hood." However, "most" also changes: "The wolf ran the shortest way to Grandma's house and got ahead of Little Red Riding Hood."
As for the syntactic role, adjectives in this degree, as a rule, act as predicates: "The most amazing journey." Less often - definitions: "It was a story about an amazing journey." And in a complex form, they most often play the role of definitions: "He was smarter than everyone in school."
Superlatives and Comparatives of Adjectives: Exercises to Consolidate Knowledge
To better remember all the material presented, it is worth practicing by doing a few fairly simple exercises.
By itself, the topic of comparative degrees of adjectives is quite easy. However, in order to avoid mistakes, it is worth remembering the basic rules, especially since in most European languages adjectives also have 3 degrees of comparison. Therefore, having figured out what they are in Russian, you can safely take on the study of the grammar of foreign languages.
Degree of comparison- this is the general name of the forms of adjectives expressing various degrees of an attribute of an object.
Only qualitative adjectives have degrees of comparison, which denote a changing feature. In Russian, there are three degrees of comparison of adjectives: positive, comparative and superlative.
Usually adjectives name a feature of an object without comparing it with others:
green grass, sweet candy.
These adjectives are in the positive form.
Positive degree of comparison- this is a form of a qualitative adjective denoting a sign of an object beyond comparison.
Items may have features that are manifested to a greater (lesser) or largest (smallest) degree, for example:
the shirt is lighter, the weather is warmer, the building is the tallest.
In these cases, the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives are used.
comparative
Comparative degree of adjectives names a feature that a given object or person manifests to a greater or lesser extent than the one with which it is compared. For example:
candy tastes better than chocolate;
in winter the weather is colder than in summer;
girls are more careful than boys.
The comparative degree has two forms: simple and compound.
Simple comparative degree adjectives only indicate that the feature is represented to a greater (but not less) degree. It is formed by adding suffixes to the stem of a positive degree:
- -HER, -HER:
dear th - dear to her, dear to her;
strong - strong her, strong her.
- -E:
- G, K, X, D, T, ST, then the final consonant of the stem alternates:
doro G oh dear and e,
thunder To uy - thunder h e,
ti X uy - ti sh e,
about st oh - about sch e.
- For adjectives with suffixes -K-, -OK-, -EK- these suffixes are truncated:
near To ii - closer,
shire OK uy - wider
- G, K, X, D, T, ST, then the final consonant of the stem alternates:
- -SHE:
- If the stem of an adjective ends in G, K, then the final consonant of the stem is truncated:
dol G y - long neck,
tone To uy - thinner.
old - older.
- If the stem of an adjective ends in G, K, then the final consonant of the stem is truncated:
Formative suffixes ( -HER, -HER, -E, -SHE) do not change the meaning of the word and do not form a new word, so they are not included in the stem of the word. Note that simple comparative adjectives do not have endings.
You can add the prefix to the form of a simple comparative degree BY-, which denotes a small increase in the feature, for example:
more - more, lower - lower.
Sometimes a simple form of the comparative degree is formed from words that have a different stem. For example:
good - better, bad - worse, small - less.
Adjectives in the simple form of the comparative degree do not change by gender, number or case. The simple comparative degree is the invariable form of adjectives.
Some qualitative adjectives do not have a simple comparative form, for example:
bald, deaf, tall, businesslike and etc.
Composite comparative degree adjectives are formed using words more And less, which are placed before adjectives in a positive degree:
green - more green, bitter - less bitter.
Adjectives in the compound form of the comparative degree change by gender, number and case:
less sour compote(m. R.) - less sour candy(female);
brighter sun(units) - brighter stars(plural);
less difficult work(i. p.) - about less difficult work(p.p.).
Auxiliary words more And less by gender, numbers and cases do not change.
Comparison of two objects on any basis can be expressed in different ways:
The left house is higher than the right.
The left house is taller than the right one..
The left house is taller than the right one..
Superlatives
Superlative adjectives indicates that an object has the highest degree of a feature, that is, it surpasses other objects in this feature. For example:
delicious candy, the coldest winter.
Superlatives have two forms: simple and compound.
simple superlatives adjectives are formed using suffixes by adding them to the stem of adjectives in the form of a positive degree:
- -AYSH-(with alternation of the last consonant letter of the stem):
strict G ii - stro and ish ii,
multiple To ii - krat h ish ii,
ti X uy - ti sh ish ii.
note: suffix -AYSH- always under stress: the strictest, the softest.
- -ESH-:
delicious - delicious,
old - old.
- NAI- + -SH-(with suffix truncation -OK-):
high OK y - the highest.
- NAI- + -ESH-:
delicious - the most delicious.
Console NAI- is used with a simple superlative degree to draw attention to the absolute superiority of a given feature:
rare - the rarest - the rarest,
strong - the strongest - the strongest.
Sometimes a simple superlative form is formed from words that have a different stem. For example:
good - best, bad - worst, small - smaller.
Adjectives in the simple superlative form change in number, gender, and case:
highest - highest,
kindest - kindest,
the strongest - the strongest.
Compound Superlative adjectives are formed in two ways:
- With the help of words most , most , least, which are placed before adjectives in the positive form:
boldest, richest, least significant.
These adjectives change by gender, number and case:
the most daring - the most daring,
the most daring - the most daring,
the most daring - the most daring.
Words most And least are immutable:
the most daring, the least beautiful, the least long.
- With the help of words everyone, everything, which are placed after adjectives in a simple form of a comparative degree:
boldest of all, richest of all, most interesting of all.
Such adjectives do not change in gender, number and case, since they are formed from a simple form of the comparative degree, which is invariable.
Note: Do not mix words most , most , least with a simple comparative form to form a compound superlative form. Forms:
the most beautiful, the most difficult, the least interesting.
are incorrect. Also words most , most , least cannot be used with simple superlative adjectives:
the tastiest, the fastest, the smallest.
Instead of these phrases, you should use a simple or compound superlative, without mixing them:
instead of the tastiest you can say the tastiest or delicious;
instead of the fastest you can say the fastest or fastest;
instead of least smallest you can say least fine or minute.
Compound superlative form can be formed from any qualitative adjective.

Degrees of comparison of adjectives
The purpose of the lesson: to introduce students to the degrees of comparison of adjectives and their features.
Lesson objectives:
educational:
familiarity with the degrees of comparison of adjectives, their morphological features, syntactic role and grammatical features;
developing:
development of the ability to explore, analyze, generalize;
develop language flair (editing);
nurturing: fostering love for the word (Russian language), the ability to work in pairs.
During the classes
Features of objects are characteristic of objects to a greater or lesser extent. An object compared to other objects may be better or worse, may differ in size - be large, very large or small. To express these features of objects, qualitative have three degrees of comparison -positive, comparative and superlative (example: kind - a positive degree; kinder - a comparative degree; kindest - a superlative degree).
positive degree A qualitative adjective means a sign of an object without comparing it with a sign of another object (example: a big dog, a small fish, a tall pine tree, a beautiful house, a good boy).
Listen "Beautiful is far away." Does the adjective "beautiful" refer to the positive degree of comparison of adjectives?
comparative A qualitative adjective means a sign of an object that manifests itself in comparison with the same sign of another object to a greater or lesser extent (example: your house is higher than mine; Lena girl is more beautiful than Masha's girl; Your bag is heavier than mine).
The comparative degree of adjectives issimple and complex.
Simple comparative degree formed with the help :
-her(s): smart - smarter, warm - warmer, light - lighter, beautiful - more beautiful, bold - bolder.
-e: short - shorter, sweet - sweeter, large - more.
-she (same): young - younger, old - older, deep - deeper.
Sometimes when forming a comparative degree of an adjective, another is used (example: bad - worse, small - less).
From adjectives with the suffix "-to-", having a short masculine form to "-ok". Example: loud (loud) - louder; short (short) - shorter, low (low) - lower.
It should be remembered - adjectives in the form of a simple comparative degree do not have endings and do not change!
Exercise: form a simple comparative degree of adjectives, write with a hyphen.
Weak, hard, lovely, envious, expensive, harsh, dry, hot, tough, young, rich, cool, simple, tall, clean, wide, cheap, bright, loud, thin, thick, strict, frequent, light, useful, sweet, quiet, smooth, rich.
Compound Comparative is formed with the help of particles more and less from the full form of the positive degree of the adjective (Example: smart - smarter, strong - less strong, beautiful - more beautiful, cunning - less cunning).
The complex form of the comparative degree of adjectives varies by gender, number and case.
Exercise: form a complex comparative degree of adjectives, write with a hyphen.
Fresh, difficult, kind, interesting, boring, cheerful, hot, tasty, appetizing, soft, cozy, dark, warm.
Superlatives quality adjectives means the highest degree of an attribute of an object compared to the same attribute in other objects (Example: She is my best friend; he is the smartest in our class; this is the most beautiful song)
The superlative degree of adjectives (as well as the comparative) issimple and complex.
simple superlatives formed with suffixes:
"-eysh-": beautiful - the most beautiful, smart - the smartest, strong - the strongest;
"-aysh-": soft - the softest, great - the greatest, strict - the strictest;
"-sh-": high is higher, low is lower.
Also, the prefix "most" can be added to the words, which enhances the degree of manifestation of the feature: difficult - the most difficult, small - the least.
Sometimes, when forming the superlative degree of an adjective, a different root is used: good is the best, bad is the worst.
Exercise: use adjectives in the initial form, compose and write with them : brightest - brightest - brightest light.
The most evil, the nearest, the most interesting, the shortest, the widest, the dullest, the cheaper, the stronger, the most wonderful, the most magnificent, the smallest, the thinnest, the coldest, the heaviest, the nearest, the deepest, the quietest, the simplest, the sweetest, the most beautiful, the strongest, the rarest, the kindest, the softest, the poorest, the easiest.
Compound Superlative is formed with the help of particles most, most and least from the full form of the positive degree of the adjective - big - the biggest, beautiful the most beautiful, smart - the least smart.
Adjectives in the superlative degree change in gender, number, and case.
Exercise: to form a short form, a simple comparative and a superlative degree of adjectives. With each form, make a short sentence, underline the main members. Example: This book is interesting. This book is more interesting than the previous one. I came across an interesting book.
Skillful, patient, comfortable, serious, sad, helpful, terrible, subtle, honest, calm.
Listen to the song "Big Secret". What are the degrees of comparison of adjectives in the song?
Questions to reinforce a new topic:
1. Name the degrees of comparison of adjectives.
2. What does the comparative degree of an adjective mean?
3. With the help of what particles is a compound superlative degree of an adjective formed?
Homework:
Task 1. Write down the proverbs, forming a comparative degree:
True (bright) sun.

Morning evening (tricky).
Rainy summer (bad) autumn.
Health (expensive) gold.
Task 2. Rewrite sentences, underline adjectives
I do not know anything better, more difficult, more interesting than a person (M. Gorky).
The night became even thicker, even blacker and warmer (Kuprin).
In battle, it is who is more stubborn and bolder who beats, and not who is stronger (proverb).
The enemy is cunning, but we are smarter, the enemy is strong, but we are stronger (proverb).
