What are the comparative and superlative forms of calm?

The word "calm" is already an adjective, so it doesn't have comparative and superlative forms in the traditional sense.

However, we can express degrees of calmness using these options:

Comparative:

* Calmer: This is the most common way to express a higher degree of calmness.

* More calm: This is a slightly more formal option, particularly when comparing two things.

* More tranquil: This suggests a state of greater peacefulness.

* More serene: This implies a sense of stillness and composure.

Superlative:

* Calmest: This is the most common way to express the highest degree of calmness.

* Most calm: This is a more formal option.

* Most tranquil: This suggests the greatest peacefulness.

* Most serene: This implies the ultimate stillness and composure.

Example:

* "The lake was calm this morning."

* "The ocean was calmer today than yesterday."

* "The mountains provide a more tranquil setting than the city."

* "She is the calmest person I know."
