The Comparative Degree: a comparison of two different things by using the symbol – er / more than. -er is used to one/two syllables of adjective, while more is used to three or more than two syllables of adjective. For the examples:1. close=> closer because it has one syllable. 2. pretty=> prettier because it has two syllables. 3 The Superlative Degree: a comparison of three or more things by using the symbol- est / the most. -est is used to one/two syllables of adjective, while most is used three or more syllables of adjective.

Subject Pronouns: a subjective pronoun acts as the subject of sentence—it performs the action of the verb.

The objective pronouns are her, him, it, me, them, us, and you. The example: Cousin Eldred gave me a trombone. 3. Reflexive pronoun: a pronoun that acts, refers back, and emphasizes to the subject of a sentence. The example: I learned a lot about myself at summer camp. (Myself refers back to I.) 4. Possessive Adjective: a pronoun that is used to show ownership. It comes before a noun in the sentence modifies to whom the noun belongs. The examples: 1. My book is on the table. 2. She knows about their parents well. 5. Possessive Pronouns: a pronoun does show ownership, but it does not come before a noun or in a noun phrase. It stands alone.
