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.

CA Final preparation requires about 10 to 12 hours of daily study. One may need to increase it to 14 hours, later as the exam gets near. Students must make a time bound plan for daily preparation which includes syllabus coverage, practice sessions and revision.
