The degrees of modification can be the positive the comparative and the superlative forms. In fact only comparative and superlatives show degrees in practice

We use the comparative degree for comparing two things and the superlative for comparing three or more things. Take a look at the example below...Then we will introduce you to the rules of formation of comparatives and superlatives
