Question

write the comparative and superlative degrees of the given adjectives. a). pretty- b). Tall​

Answer 1

Answer:

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.

There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.

The given sentence is comparing the heights of two people- Ajay and Amit.

Whenever a comparative adjective is used, the word 'than' is used after the comparative adjective.

The adjective in the given question is 'tall' as we understand from the options given.

Option C) the tallest is incorrect since it is a superlative adjective and not comparative one.

Option A) and B) are close enough answers. Option B) is incorrect because whenever 'as' is used before an adjective to make it comparative, the adjective should also be followed by another 'as'. For example, in the given sentence, 'as tall as' would have been correct. But, since the blank is not followed by 'as', option B) is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) taller than.

Since option A) is the correct answer, option D) is incorrect.

The complete sentence is: Ajay is taller than Amit.

Answer 2

Answer:

comparative degree of pretty is prettier and superlative is prettiest

Tall is a regular adjective, which is called the positive degree. Taller is the comparative degree of the adjective.
