Question

When to use No other and Very few in positive degree when transformed from comparative & superlative degree

Answer 1

Three forms of an adjective exist i.e. positive, comparative and superlative.

Explanation:

• The base form of an adjective is the positive form.
• A higher degree of some quality is expressed in comparative form.
• Whereas the highest degree is expressed in superlative form.
• In the case of thee syllables adjectives or more, the word 'more' is used to form a comparative degree, and 'most' is used for the superlative degree.

For example,

• 'Sania is the best student in the class', it is an example of a superlative degree.
• While 'Sania is better than any other student in the class', it is an example of a comparative degree.
• And, 'No other student in the class is as good as Sania', is an example of a positive degree.
