this boy is the best swimmer in the school other two degrees of comparison
Answers
Answer:
1. Ajay is tall.
2. Vijay is taller than Ajay.
3. Rajesh is the tallest of the three.
Here, the words 'tall', 'taller', and 'tallest' are adjectives. They are the different forms of the adjective 'tall'.
We use 'tall' when we don't compare Ajay with anyone.
Example :
Ajay is tall.
We use 'taller' when we compare two persons : Ajay and Vijay
Example :
Vijay is taller than Ajay.
We use 'tallest' when we compare more than two persons.
Rajesh is the tallest of the three.
Thus, we see that adjectives can show comparison between two or more people, animals or things.
There are three degrees of comparison :
1. Positive
2. Comparative
3. Superlative
POSITIVE DEGREE
The positive degree of an adjective is used when no comparison is made.
Examples :
1. Veena is young.
2. The green box is large.
Notice that here, we are not comparing 'Veena' with any other person or the 'box' with any other box.
This degree is used when we talk about one person or thing only..........
Hope it will help you.......
Positive: No other swimmer is as good as this boy in the school.
or,
No other swimmer in the school is as good as this boy.
Comparative: This boy is better than any other swimmer in the school.
Explanation:
Since the question is in superlative so as per the instruction we have to change it into positive and comparative.
* During the changing of degree we compare with the adjectives of the sentence and that's why we change the form of the adjective to change from one degree to another.
* But should have to remember that we can't change the sense of the sentence, we have to compare the sentence by different ways but the meaning of the sentence should always remain same.
For a positive sentence the adjective should remain in first form, in comparative in second form and in superlative in the third form such as,
Take an adjective as good_
1st form : good
2nd form : better
3rd form : best and so on.
For the structure:
in positive: as adjective as
in comparative: adjective than
in superlative: the adjective
