What is the comparative and superlative to word aggressive?

Here's how the comparative and superlative forms of "aggressive" work, along with some nuances:

Comparative:

* More aggressive: This is the standard, grammatically correct comparative form.

* Aggravated: While this word sounds similar, it means "annoyed or irritated." It's not a synonym for "more aggressive."

Superlative:

* Most aggressive: This is the standard, grammatically correct superlative form.

Important Considerations:

* Context matters: The best choice of word depends on the situation. If you're talking about someone's personality, "more assertive" or "more forceful" might be more suitable than "more aggressive."

* Avoid intensifiers: Phrases like "very aggressive" are often better replaced with a more specific descriptor.

Example:

* Comparative: "The lion was more aggressive than the tiger."

* Superlative: "The Rottweiler was the most aggressive dog in the shelter."
