Complete the table with the correct form of each adjective (Degrees of Comparison):
Ответ:
Unfortunately, the image provides only the base form of the adjectives in both English and German. To complete the table, we need to know what degrees of comparison are expected (Comparative and Superlative). Let's assume the table asks for the Comparative and Superlative forms. Here's how we would typically fill in the table.
**Understanding Degrees of Comparison**
* **Positive (Base Form):** The adjective in its original form (e.g., hard).
* **Comparative:** Used to compare two things (e.g., harder).
* **Superlative:** Used to compare three or more things (e.g., hardest).
**English**

**Explanation for Students**
To form the Comparative in English, we generally add "-er" to the end of short adjectives or use "more" before longer adjectives. To form the Superlative, we usually add "-est" to the end of short adjectives or use "most" before longer adjectives.
In German, the Comparative is usually formed by adding "-er" to the adjective, and the Superlative is formed by adding "-sten" to the adjective. Some adjectives require an Umlaut (ä, ö, ü) in the Comparative and Superlative forms.
**Important Notes:**
* Irregular adjectives (like "good"/"gut") have completely different Comparative and Superlative forms.
* Some adjectives don't easily lend themselves to comparison (like "dead"/"tot"). For these, N/A (Not Applicable) is appropriate.
* Older/Eldest is typically used for family members or seniority.
