Sifat darajalari ingliz tilida 3 guruhga bo'linadi:
1. Oddiy-Positive
brave-botir,
new-yangi,
happy-baxtli.
2. Qiyosiy- Comparative
Ikki pradmet bir-biriga qiyoslanganda yoki solishtirilganda ishlatiladi. Sifatga ~er qo'shimchasini qo'shish bilan yasaladi va sifatdan keyin than (~dan ko'ra, qaraganda) so'zi ishlatiladi.
braver-botirroq,
happier-baxtliroq,
bigger-kattaroq.
3. Orttirma-Superlative
Bir nechta predmetlar orasidan eng yuqori sifat darajasiga ega bo'lgani tanlanganda ishlatiladi. Sifatga ~est qo'shimchasi qo'shish yordamida yasaladi.
Sifatdan oldin the artikli qo'yiladi.
bravest-eng botir,
happiest-eng baxtli,
biggest-eng katta.
