Краткое объяснение правил

В английском языке существует три степени сравнения прилагательных:

1. Положительная степень (Positive Degree) — обычная форма прилагательного: young, good, beautiful.

2. Сравнительная степень (Comparative Degree) — используется при сравнении двух предметов или людей:

   • Короткие прилагательные: добавляем -er (young → younger).

   • Длинные прилагательные: используем more (beautiful → more beautiful).

   • Исключения: good → better, bad → worse, far → farther/further.

3. Превосходная степень (Superlative Degree) — показывает наивысшую степень качества:

   • Короткие прилагательные: добавляем -est (young → youngest).

   • Длинные прилагательные: используем most (beautiful → most beautiful).

   • Исключения: good → best, bad → worst, far → farthest/furthest.

Важно запомнить:

• Перед превосходной степенью обычно ставится артикль the.

• При сравнении двух предметов часто используется than.

• В словах, заканчивающихся на согласную + y, буква y меняется на i: pretty → prettier → prettiest; busy → busier → busiest.

• В предложении № 10 используется further, поскольку выражение further delay означает «дальнейшая задержка».
