Comparison of adjectives and adverbs

Adjectives and adverbs can express three levels of comparison:

: 1) Positive
: 2) Comparative
: 3) Superlative

Although German and English are somewhat similar in the way they form adjective and adverb comparisons, there are a number of significant differences. For example, the German forms add adjective endings where required.

1) Ich habe ein schnelles Auto.
2) Martin hat ein schnelleres Auto.
3) Beate hat das schnellste Auto. I have a fast car.
Martin has a faster car.
Beate has the fastest car.
