Key Points
- The comparative degree is generally formed by adding '-er' to the end of the adjective followed by 'than'. This is the case with monosyllabic adjectives.
- For example:- happier.
- On the contrary, in the case of polysyllabic adjectives, the adjectives remain the same and use the word 'more' before the adjective.
- For example:- more beautiful.
- The superlative degree is generally formed by adding '-est' to the end of the adjectives.
- Article 'the' is used before every superlative degree word.
- For example:- The happiest place.
- For the given word i.e. heavy the degrees are given below:
- Heavy - Heavier - Heaviest.
Hence the answer will be 'heavier - heaviest'.
