Comparative degree adalah suatu cara untuk membandingkan sesuatu dalam bahasa Inggris. Comparative degree berfungsi untuk membandingkan perbedaan antara dua objek. Objek yang dimaksud bisa berupa makhluk hidup maupun benda mati, yang dimodifikasi seperti lebih besar, lebih kecil, lebih cepat, lebih tinggi, dan lain-lain.
Terdapat tiga jenis degreee of comparison. Dalam membandingkan dua hal, tidak hanya comparative tapi juga akan menemukan degree of comparison untuk positive, dan superlative. Jika, pada comparative menggunakan tambahan "er" dalam adjective-nya, maka untuk membentuk superlative kata sifatnya ditambahkan dengan "est".
Adapun dalam membentuk comparative dan superlative, bentuknya akan tergantung pada jumlah suku kata (syllables) dalam kata sifat aslinya. Penambahan imbuhan pada adjective juga harus memperhatikan, apakah kata sifat tersebut termasuk bentuk regular verb atau irregular verb.
