Имена прилагательные образуют, как и в русском языке, две степени сравнения: сравнительную (the Comparative Degree) и превосходную (the Superlative Degree). Основная форма прилагательного не выражает сравнения и называется положительной степенью (the Positive Degree):The Volga is a long river. – Волга – длинная река. (long — положительная степень).The Volga is longer than the Dnieper. – Волга длиннее Днепра. (longer – сравнительная степень).The Volga is the longest river in Europe. – Волга – самая длинная река в Европе. (longest – превосходная степень)Существительное, определяемое прилагательным в превосходной степени, всегда употребляется с определенным артиклем the:This is the shortest way to the station. – Это самая короткая дорога к вокзалу.This is the most interesting story in this book. –Это самый интересный рассказ в этой книге.

Dear Lucy, 

I was very glad to hear from you. I haven't written for ages because of my school activities. It's a pity that you were ill last week, I hope that now you got well and fell better.
I would like to invite you to my New Year party at my place next Sunday. We'll have a costume party. I think you will like to spend a nice day  with my friends and parents. We'll dance and sing, play games eat many tasty things. It will be great!

Please tell me if you are able to come by calling me at (номер телефона).
I am waiting for you on Sunday 11a.m.

Best regards, 

Mary
