Comparison of adjectives

Adjectives are often used in the form of comparison, taht is when we want to compare between the properties of an object with the properties of an object, etc. there are three levels of comparison (degree of comparison) that are commonly used in the United Kingdom.

1. Positive Degree
Positive degree is used for comparing two or more objects that have properties similiar or equivalent. These are two types, namely :

a. Comparison of the equivalent
Comparison formulas equivalent positive is Subject + to be + as + adjective + as + object.
For more details, please see the examples in the following wording :

- Chandra is as smart as hid older brother
- katy Perry is as beautiful as the moon
- You are as old as Dhani's father

b. Negative Equivalent Comparison
Equivalent negative comparisons with the formula Subject + to be + not + as/so + adjective + as + object
Examples of the second sentence of that formula is :

- Chandra is not as smart as his older brother.
- Simon Santoso is not as strong as Lee Chong Wei.

The formula :
- Subject + to be + adjective + er + than + object
- Subject + to be + more + adjective + than + object
