Avoid using comparative or superlative forms. Common errors include using "more" or "most" with positive degree adjectives, or using "-er" or "-est" endings on adjectives that are already in the positive degree, can lead to errors.
Avoid using the positive degree when a comparative or superlative is more appropriate. For instance, when comparing two things, use the comparative degree. When comparing three or more things, use the superlative degree.

Positive degree is the most basic form of adjective that we use for a noun or pronoun, let's see how it is different from Comparative and Superlative degrees. The comparative degree compares two things by adding 'er' to the adjective and the superlative degree compares three or more things by adding 'est' to the adjective. For example:
The test is easy. | The second test is easier than the first. | The third test is the the easiest of them all. |

The Positive Degree in English grammar is the most basic and simple form of an adjective or adverb used to describe a noun or a pronoun. It is also called the normal form of an adjective or adverb that describes a quality without comparing it to anything else.

No, “more better” is grammatically incorrect. “Better” is already a comparative form of “good, ” so adding “more” makes it redundant. Always use either “better” or “more good” (in rare, specific cases), but not both together. Never use “more” or “most” with irregular comparatives like better, worse, less, more, farther, etc.
Incorrect - No, “more better” is grammatically incorrect.
“Better” is already the comparative form of “good.” So, using “more” before it creates a redundant and incorrect expression.
Incorrect - Correct Forms:
Good - Better - Best
My husband is better than me. (Correct)
My

“Elder” is used specifically for family members (e.g., elder brother), while “older” can be used for anyone or anything (e.g., older car, older friend). Both are comparative forms, but their usage depends on context.
Both “elder” and “older” are comparative forms of age, but they differ in usage and context.
Word | Usage Context | Example |
---|---|---|
Elder | Only for family members | My elder sister is a doctor. |
Older | For people, animals, objects | He is older than me. That is an older building. |
Incorrect - You cannot say: “That elder building”
Correct - But you can say: “My elder cousin”

Yes, “than” is generally used to show comparison between two things. For example, “Ajay is intelligent than his sister.” However, in casual speech, “than” may be implied or dropped, like “He's stronger (than him), ” but in formal writing, always use “than.”
Example:
Ajay is intelligent than his sister.
However, in spoken English, "than" may be implied and not explicitly stated:
Ajay is intelligent (than his sister).
In formal writing and exams, it's always safer and grammatically correct to use “than.”
