The predicate tells what the subject does or is. It includes the verb and any other words that complete the meaning of the sentence. It is the latter part of the sentence that gives information about the subject or the action that is being performed.

The subject, includes word or group of words that tell what or who the sentence is about. They can be noun or pronoun. In other words, subject is a person or thing that is being considered, shown or talked about in the sentence. It is the main focus of the sentence.

Nouns are important because they talk about people, place, things or ideas. Nouns acts as foundation in a sentence by acting as subject, verb and more. Without a noun in a sentence, it would look vague and incomplete. Nouns gives identification, builds sentence, acts as subject, and provides clarity.

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.
