Question

What is the superlative and comparative degree of new?

Answer 1

Hint: Words that characterise a noun are called adjectives. Three levels or degrees of comparison are used to classify adjectives. The Positive Degree is used to describe a single person or thing. The Comparative Degree is employed when two persons or items are compared. The largest form, Superlative Degree, is used when comparing more than two persons or objects to one another.

Complete answer:
In this question, we'll study the degree of adjective comparison. Degrees of comparison is used when comparing two or more items or entities. The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative, and superlative adjectives.

Positive - The most fundamental comparison degree is positive. It doesn't have a unique ending. It makes no comparisons, only stating the existence of a certain trait.

Comparative - This degree compares two or more objects to see which one is present to a higher or lower degree. It has either the prefix "more" or the suffix "-er" before or after the adjective.

Superlative- The adjective's most extreme version is denoted by the superlative degree. It's created by placing the article "the" before the adjective and then adding "most" or the suffix "-est" after it.

When we look at a comparative adjective, we're comparing two objects and discussing one's quality in relation to the other. Let's suppose I've been buying the Game of Thrones series of novels as they've been released. All (six) of these are mine.
The second book is newer than the first.
In addition, book 5 is newer than book 3.
In addition, book 6 is newer than book 5.

The comparative version of the new is newer. (We could use more new ones as well.)
When we wish to look at all of the books and determine which one is the most recent, we would state that

The sixth book in the series is the newest.
The superlative version of the new is the newest. ("Most new" can also be used.)

Thus, newer, newest are the comparative and superlative degrees of new respectively.

Note: We may change the adjective to the superlative degree by adding the proper suffix. The better is the comparative degree of interest, which is a comparison of two items or circumstances. A degree that defies comparison and serves as an extreme point is referred to as "superlative."
