Absolute Adjectives

Some adjectives describe qualities that cannot be compared. These are called absolute adjectives. Examples are: square, round, opposite, perfect, dead, empty, fully, entirely etc.

Nothing can be more perfect than the perfect. Likewise, nothing can be rounder than the round.

• Nobody is living the perfect life.
• He is dead. (NOT He is very dead.)
• I fully support you. (NOT I very fully support you.)
