Write an original story using the degrees of comparison(at least 2 each)
Answers
Answer:
The Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.
An Adjective is a word which qualifies (shows how big, small, great, many, few, etc.) a noun or a pronoun is in a sentence.
An adjective can be attributive (comes before a noun) or predicative (comes in the predicate part):
e.g. He is a tall man. (‘tall’ — adjective – attributive)
This man is tall. (‘tall’ — adjective – predicative)
An Adverb is a word which adds to the meaning of the main verb (how it is done, when it is done, etc.) of a sentence or expression.
It normally ends with ‘ly’, but there are some adverbs that are without ‘ly’:
e.g. She ate her lunch quickly. He speaks clearly. They type fast.
Explanation:
Kinds of comparison:
1. POSITIVE DEGREE: Tom is tall a boy.
In this sentence the word ‘tall’ is an adjective telling us how Tom is. There is no other person or thing in this sentence used to compare Tom with, but it is the general way of saying about persons, animals and things that they have some quality (here ‘tallness’) above average in general sense. The adjective word ‘tall’ is said to be in the “positive form”.
This comparison is called “positive degree” comparison.
There are two more comparisons with the ‘positive form’ of the adjective words. They are:
(i) Degree of Equality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are equal – having the same quality.
There are two cats with the same height and weight, and look the same except for the colour.
Therefore we say:
The brown cat is as beautiful as the grey cat. (= Both the cats are the same.)
The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction as…as it expresses the ‘degree of equality’.
(ii) Degree of Inequality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are not equal – not having the same quality.
The brown cat is not so beautiful as the black & white cat. (= They are not the same.)
The word “beautiful” is an adjective in the ‘positive form’, and with the conjunction so…as (and the negative ‘not’) it expresses the ‘degree of inequality’
Answer:
tives are used to describe, identify, modify or quantify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives have three degrees that compare one thing to another.
The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative and superlative. The comparative and superlative degrees are used to compare between two or more subjects or objects.
For example,
Tina is smarter than Abhishek
In this sentence, the comparative degree (smarter) of the adjective 'smart' is used to compare between the two persons.
Tina is the smartest girl in the class
In this sentence, the superlative degree (smartest) of the same adjective is used to compare a person against two or more people.
The superlative adjective is also used to qualify a person or an object as the best among all its counterparts. For example, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
