Question

He ought to be happiest boy in the world. (change into the positive degree) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

He does not ought to be the happiest boy in the world

Answer 2

He ought to be a happy boy.

EXPLANATION:

This comes under the degrees of comparison. There are three types: Positive, comparative and superlative. These types show changes in the adjectives of the sentence.

Example:

• He is a tall man (Positive degree) with the adjective ‘tall’.
• He is taller than his brother. (comparative). As the name indicates it compares two nouns. Here ‘he’ is compared with his brother.
• He is the tallest boy in the class (Superlative degree).

He is the one who is tallest among others.

In the given example ‘he’ used to be the happiest boy in the world. When it comes to a positive degree it becomes ‘happy’.

The adjectives will vary depending upon the verb.

For example: Good, better, best; Bad, worse, Worst; Famous, more famous, most famous, etc.,
