===Adjectives and adverbs=== Some English adjectives and adverbs are declined for [[degree of comparison]]. The unmarked form is the [[positive (linguistics)|positive]] form, such as ''quick''. Comparative forms are formed with the ending ''-er'' (''quicker''), while superlative forms are formed with ''-est'' (''quickest''). Some are uncomparable; the remainder are usually periphrastic constructions with ''more'' (''more beautiful'') and ''most'' (''most modestly''). See [[degree of comparison]] for more. Adjectives are not declined for case in Modern English (though they were in Old English), nor number nor gender.{{NoteTag|A few adjectives borrowed from other languages are, or can be, declined for gender, at least in writing: ''blond'' (male) and ''blonde'' (female).}}
