Answers
Answer:
An adjective can exist in three forms–positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree. For adjectives with a single syllable, the comparative degree is formed by suffixing '-er' and the superlative degree is formed by suffixing '-est'.
The adjective, 'tall' is the positive form. Its comparative degree of comparison is 'taller'. Its superlative degree of comparison is 'tallest'.
Positive:-
The himalayas are high than all other mountain in the world.
Comparative:-
The himalayas are higher than all other mountain in the world.
Superlative:-
The himalayas are the highest than all other mountain in the world.
Required here is, superlative.
The himalayas are the highest than all other mountain in the world = superlative.
Formation of comparative and superlative:-
- In all the adjectives of more than two syllabus, the comparative is formed by adding 'more' and the superlative is formed by adding 'most'.
Ex:
Positive = Beautiful.
Comparative = More beautiful.
Superlative = Most beautiful.
- But adjectives of one syllabus can form the comparative by adding 'er' or 'r' and the superlative by adding 'est' or 'st'.
Ex:-
Positive = Deep.
Comparative = Deeper.
Superlative = Deepest.
- But adjectives of syllabus which end in e, can form the comparative by adding 'r' and the superlative by adding 'est' or 'st'.
Ex:-
Positive = Brave.
Comparative = Braver.
Superlative = Bravest.
So, like this there are many kinds of formation of the words according to their meaning, ending, kind etc.
