36.1 As we have already learned, adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. In order to describe a noun or pronoun, an adjective must match the noun in gender, number and case.
Greek adjectives also have DEGREES:
- The POSITIVE degree refers to the quality or quantity conveyed by the meaning of the adjective
- tall, short
- The COMPARATIVE degree refers to MORE of the quality or quantity conveyed by the adjective
- taller, shorter
- The SUPERLATIVE degree refers to the MAXIMUM of the quality or quantity conveyed by the adjective
- tallest, shortest
