Question

Give three rule of superlative degree with example

Answer 1

Answer:

• The superlative degree must be used when more than two things or group of things are compared.

•It is followed by by of and preceded by the ; as,

"This is the tallest of all spires."

• Before a noun qualified by other , or before the pronoun others, the comparative (not the superlative degree is used) must be used; as,

"Iron is more useful than any other metal."

•The use of Double Comparatives or Double superlative is meaningless, as in sentence like

"Solomon was the most wisest person on earth"

brave braver bravest

#3. when the positive ends with 'y' and is preceded by a constant, 'y' is changed into I before adding -er and -est.
