Прилагательное
Существует три степени сравнения прилагательных в английском языке – положительная, сравнительная и превосходная.
My friend Jon has a huge library at home though he has not got much space and keeps all his books on a small shelf. He is also keen on old books. There are a lot of interesting books. There is one that I find the most interesting is Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll. I think classical literature is more interesting than modern one.
Большинство прилагательных имеют степени сравнения.
старый – старше – самый старый

У прилагательных, содержащих абсолютное значение, нет сравнительной степени.

Сравнительная степень может сопровождаться словами-маркерами, например than.

Сравнительная степень образуется при помощи следующего суффикса -er.
Прилагательные в превосходной степени получают суффикс -est и сопровождается определенным артиклем – the.
small – smaller – the smallest
При этом прилагательные с -y на конце получают суффикс -ier и -iest соответственно.

hot – hotter – the hottest
–e в конце у прилагательного опускается.
large – larger – the largest
