​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are basically three degrees of comparison:

Positive degree

Comparative degree

Superlative degree

Positive Degree:

It is the adjective in its simplest form. It is used to denote the existence of a quality but can be used to indicate comparison to an equal degree.

Positive degree is formed by using ‘as ……… as’ with adjective in positive (affirmative) sense and ‘not as ……… as’ or ‘not so ……… as’ in negative sense,

Examples:

(i) Gunjan is as smart as Pritam.

(ii) Mumbai is as busy as Delhi.

(iii) My pen is not so (as) expensive as yours.

(iv) Vipin is not as clever as (or so clever as) his brother.

Comparative Degree:

It is generally used when two entities being compared possess an unequal degree of a certain quality.

In comparative degree, suffix ‘er’ is added to the adjective and ‘than’ is used after the adjective.

Examples:

(i) Shamli is taller than Sonali.

(ii) Anurag is braver than Prayas.

(iii) Iron is harder than wood.

(iv) Rutuja is fairer than Swapnil.

Comparative Degree:

It is generally used when two entities being compared possess an unequal degree of a certain quality.
