Read the following examples:

             1.  This flower is beautiful. (Positive degree)


             2.  This flower is more beautiful. (Comparative degree)
             3.  This flower is the most beautiful. (Superlative degree)


             Most adjectives form their comparative degree by adding -er                    and their superlative
             degree by adding -est       to the positive degree.

             Whereas, some adjectives form their comparative and superlative by adding more

             and most     before them.
