DEGREE OF COMPARISON
This document discusses the three degrees of comparison in English: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is used to compare two things as equal. The comparative degree compares two things that are not equal. The superlative degree compares one thing to two or more others. Examples are provided for each type of comparison using adjectives like hot, fast, easy. Rules are provided for forming the comparative and superlative forms of different types of adjectives. An assignment with multiple choice questions tests understanding of using the correct form based on what is being compared.

Write your answers on your worksheet.
Let's review:
- Simple sentences contain one independent clause.
- Compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined by FANBOYS.
- Complex sentences contain one independent clause and one dependent clause.
Now let's practice identifying sentence structures:
1. Simple
2. Compound (joined by "but")
3. Complex ("Although" is a dependent clause signal word)
Great job identifying the different sentence structures! Keep practicing and you'll get better at varying your own sentences. The Simpsons would be proud of your new skills.
Comparatives
This document discusses the different structures used to form comparisons of superiority, inferiority, and equality in Spanish. Comparisons of superiority use the comparative form of the adjective followed by "than". Comparisons of inferiority use "not as...as" or "less than..." with the positive form of the adjective. Comparisons of equality use "as...as" with the positive form of the adjective. Examples are provided for each type of comparison using common adjectives like fast, clean, and big.
Comparisons
Here are some examples of modifying comparatives:
- Tom is much older than I am.
- Ann drives very carefully.

Adjectives
1) Adjectives are used to describe nouns and provide additional information about their qualities, characteristics, or properties.
2) Adjectives have a standard form and do not change based on the noun's gender or number. They can be placed before or after nouns and certain linking verbs.
3) Comparisons of adjectives involve forms like "more/less" to show differences or "as...as" to show similarities, as well as irregular comparatives like "better/best" and superlatives involving "the."

Degree of comparison
Degree of comparison
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.
Kind of comparison :
Positive degree
Comparative degree
Superlative degree
POSITIVE DEGREE
Equal/positive degree is used to compare two things or persons which have same characteristic and feature.
The primary form of an adjective or adverb; denotes a quality without qualification,comparison, or relation to increase or diminution positive
Adjective- a word that expresses an attribute of something
Adverb- a word that modifies something other then a noun.
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.
Example: 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. Example: 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’
Degrees of Comparisons Presentation
There are three degrees of comparison in English used to compare people or things: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is the basic form of an adjective. The comparative degree is used to compare two things, formed by adding -er or using more/less. The superlative degree compares three or more things and is formed by adding -est or using most.
Hyphens
The document discusses the use of hyphens in English to join words and avoid confusion. It outlines seven main functions of hyphens: 1) in compound numbers and fractions, 2) with compound nouns, 3) with coequal nouns, 4) with compound modifiers, 5) in phrases used as modifiers, 6) with prefixes and suffixes, and 7) to avoid awkward letter combinations that could cause confusion. Hyphen guidelines are provided for each function, such as using hyphens for compound numbers like twenty-one and compound modifiers preceding nouns like middle-class family.
English syntax parts of speech - conjunctions and interjections (LIM05S1 - ...
This document discusses conjunctions and interjections in English syntax. It describes two types of conjunctions - coordinating conjunctions like "and" and "but" which join equal parts of a sentence, and subordinating conjunctions like "that" and "if" which join subordinate clauses to main clauses. Conjunctions can be single words, compound words, or correlative. Coordinating conjunctions go between what they join, while subordinating conjunctions usually begin subordinate clauses. Interjections are exclamatory words that show emotion but have no grammatical function. Examples of common interjections include "Wow", "Ouch", and "Shh".

The document discusses adjectives in English. It explains that adjectives are generally invariable and do not change form to agree with nouns. However, some adjectives like "beautiful" and "handsome" have gender connotations. Adjectives referring to religions or nationalities are usually capitalized. Adjectives are typically placed before the noun they modify, and when multiple adjectives are used they can be joined by commas or "and." Adjectives can also follow the noun when used in a predicate or relative clause. The document provides examples to illustrate these points and includes a short test asking the reader to complete a sentence using the correct adjective, article, and noun.
Adjectives

It discusses repeating comparatives using continuous tenses, 'more and more' for longer comparatives, and using 'drop' to indicate decrease. It also covers comparative and superlative adjectives, comparing two objects with comparatives and comparing one object from a group with superlatives. Exercises are included for students to practice these comparative structures.
The Noun Phrase
This document provides information on using noun phrases to improve writing. It begins by stating the learning outcomes, which are to understand how noun phrases make writing more interesting and efficient, to be able to improve writing by building noun phrases, and to prepare for academic and descriptive writing. It then provides examples of noun phrases and their components like the head, classifier, describer, etc. The document explains that noun phrases provide extra information in an efficient way and make writing more interesting to read. It encourages analyzing texts to find noun phrases and provides exercises to practice expanding nouns into noun phrases.
Comparative adjectives
This document provides instruction on how to form comparative adjectives in English. It explains that for one-syllable adjectives, "-er" is usually added to form the comparative. For adjectives ending in "e", just add "r". Adjectives ending in "y" drop the "y" and add "ier". For adjectives with two or more syllables, "more" is used before the adjective. Irregular comparatives like "good/better" and "bad/worse" must be memorized. "Less" is used with adjectives without changing the form to indicate less of a quality. Examples are provided to illustrate each comparative formation rule.
metaphor and simile
Metaphor and simile are figures of speech that create comparisons. A metaphor directly states that one thing is another, like "her laughter is a gentle song," while a simile uses "like" or "as" to draw a comparison, such as "her eyes are like jewels sparkling in the sky." Both techniques make writing more vivid and interesting by presenting things in a new light. Examples from literature, such as Shakespeare's metaphor comparing the world to a stage, demonstrate how metaphors and similes enhance creative works.

2da grammar 3_presentation
The document provides an overview of key grammar concepts in English including parts of speech (nouns, verbs), modifiers (articles, adjectives, adverbs), verb tenses and aspects (present, past, future, progressive), and structures (gerunds and infinitives). It defines proper and common nouns, count and non-count nouns, singular and plural forms. It also covers topics such as articles, comparisons of adjectives, superlatives, verb forms including modals, gerunds and infinitives, and drawing conclusions.
Degrees of Comparison
The document discusses the three degrees of comparison in English:
1. The positive degree makes equal comparisons using terms like "as...as".
2. The comparative degree makes unequal comparisons using suffixes like "-er" and "more".
3. The superlative degree compares three or more entities, identifying the one that is most or least, using "the...est" or "most/least".
Comparatives and superlatives
This document discusses comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that comparisons can show inequality, equality, or just a difference. It provides examples of how to form comparatives for different types of adjectives and adverbs using -er, more, or less. For adjectives, the rules depend on the number of syllables and stress pattern. For adverbs, most add -er but those formed from adjectives add more or less. The document also discusses double comparatives and participial adjectives. Exercises are included to check understanding.

The document discusses plans by group members to conduct experiments collecting fog in Quito, Ecuador. It proposes building fog collectors using 2x2 meter mesh screens, which studies show can collect 3cm of water per day under Quito's conditions. The group aims to show fog collection is possible and can be applied in Quito, choosing paramo and Andean forest areas with beneficial high altitudes. The document also discusses alternative fog collection methods using designs inspired by desert beetles and prior experiments in Pululahua demonstrating the potential to collect 8,000 liters of water daily.
COLLECTING WATER FROM FOG!!!
The document describes the water cycle and the process of evaporation. It then provides instructions for an experiment using a solar still to clean dirty water. Water is poured into a plastic bowl along with dirt and food coloring to simulate dirty water. The bowl is covered with plastic wrap with a glass under it to collect the condensation. In sunlight, evaporation occurs and the water vapor condenses on the plastic wrap above the glass, leaving the dirt behind to produce clean water samples. The experiment demonstrates how nature can be used to clean water through evaporation and condensation in the water cycle.
