Incomparable adjectives and adverbs
The four degrees in English refer to levels of comparison used with adjectives and adverbs: positive, comparative, superlative, and absolute. The positive degree describes a quality without comparison (e.g., "tall"), the comparative degree compares two entities (e.g., "taller"), the superlative degree compares three or more entities (e.g., "tallest"), and the absolute degree emphasizes the quality without relation to others (e.g., "very tall"). These degrees help convey nuances in description and comparison.
