Let's break down the concepts in the "What I Have Learned" exercise: Degrees of Adjectives - Positive Degree: This is the basic form of an adjective, describing a quality without comparing it to anything else. For example: "The cat is big."- Comparative Degree: This degree compares two things or qualities. It tells us which one has more or less of a particular quality. We often use "-er" or "more" to form the comparative degree. For example: "The cat is bigger than the dog."- Superlative Degree: This degree compares three or more things or qualities and tells us which one has the most or least of a particular quality. We often use "-est" or "most" to form the superlative degree. For example: "The cat is the biggest of all the animals." Order of Adjectives When we use multiple adjectives to describe a noun, there's a general order we follow: 1. Opinion: (beautiful, ugly, interesting)2. Size: (small, large, tiny)3. Shape: (round, square, rectangular)4. Age: (old, new, young)5. Color: (red, blue, green)6. Origin: (American, French, Japanese)7. Material: (wooden, plastic, metal)8. Purpose: (sleeping, dining, cooking) Irregular Adjectives Some adjectives don't follow the regular "-er/-est" or "more/most" rules for forming comparative and superlative degrees. These are called irregular adjectives. Examples include: - Good - Better - Best- Bad - Worse - Worst Key Points - The exercise focuses on understanding the different degrees of adjectives and how they function in comparisons.- It also highlights the importance of proper adjective order and the existence of irregular adjectives.
