To describe or not to describe" if you are, then you must use an adjective which is a word that describes a person or people, place or thing (nouns). The first type of adjective is positive and is simply used to describe one noun, e.g. She has " beautiful" grandchildren. The second type of adjective is comparative which is used to compare or describe the difference between two nouns, e.g. Her
. grandson is " younger" than her granddaughter. The third type of adjective is superlative, used when you are describing three or more nouns, e.g. I have the " oldest" house. Superlatives can be tricky" let's look at the variations: for a simply word like " old" (positive), " older" (comparative), and " oldest" (superlative). However, there are times when it is not that simple, e.g. " bad" , the comparative is " worse" and the superlative is " worst" . Then there are positive adjectives when you must add one or two pronouns, e.g. " beautiful" , the comparative is " more beautiful" and the superlative is " most beautiful" .
