Compare the Right Way: Degrees of Comparison for Class 6

This Grade 6 worksheet builds mastery in the three degrees of comparison—positive, comparative, and superlative. Through five grammar-based activities, learners practice identifying, completing, rewriting, and generating adjectives in the correct form to express comparisons clearly and correctly.

Why Degrees of Comparison Matter in Grammar?

These adjective forms allow us to compare qualities and quantities. For Grade 6 students, this topic is important because:

1. It teaches correct structure for comparing one, two, or more things.

2. It strengthens spelling and usage rules for -er, -est, and “more/most.”

3. It supports accurate writing in descriptions, analysis, and storytelling.

4. It lays a grammar foundation for sentence variety and clarity.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes five structured exercises that improve grammar fluency and comparison accuracy:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline and Label

Students underline the adjective and label its degree (positive, comparative, or superlative). They also identify whether it is regular or irregular.

✏️ Exercise 2 – Complete the Table

Learners complete a chart with missing forms of adjectives across all three degrees.

📋 Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks

Students complete ten sentences by using the correct form of the adjective provided in brackets.

📝 Exercise 4 – Sentence Correction

Learners rewrite ten grammatically incorrect comparative sentences with correct degree form and spelling.

🎨 Exercise 5 – Rewrite with Prompted Degree

Using guided instructions (e.g., “Rewrite using positive degree”), students transform the sentence while keeping the meaning intact.
