Comparative & Superlative Adjectives

Imagine you have a maiden tour abroad.
The first Place you saw was Malaysia, a treasure of beaches, ocean, and natural beauties. The words you utter were Wow! Awesome !Beautiful !...You were filled with ecstasy. ….
Now your second destination is Mauritius. You find this place is more beautiful that Malaysia. The island-beach resorts, beaches, lagoon, Black River Gorges, Macabre forest had fascinated you….
You are overwhelmed with the places you saw!
Now your friend had asked you how you liked the places. How will you explain it? How will you compare the two?
Think….
Here the Comparative & Superlative Adjectives comes into picture.
There are three degrees
1 Base Degree
2 Comparative Degree
3 Superlative Degree
Base degree is the simple form to tell about a thing.
Comparative Degree is used to compare only two things
Superlative degree is used to compare more than two things or a set of things.
