This document discusses the different degrees of comparison in English grammar: positive, comparative, and superlative.
The positive degree is the basic form of an adjective and indicates a quality without comparison. The comparative degree is used to compare two items and is formed by adding "-er" or using "more" or "less." The superlative degree compares three or more items and is formed by adding "-est" or using "most" or "least."
The document provides examples for how to form the comparative and superlative degrees of different types of adjectives. It also discusses irregular adjectives and exceptions. Additionally, it covers how to change between the different degrees while maintaining the same meaning, such
The document defines and provides examples of the three degrees of comparison in English: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is used to describe one person or thing without comparison. The comparative degree is used to compare two people or things. The superlative degree is used to compare three or more people or things. Examples of adjectives in each degree of comparison are provided in tables, along with some irregular forms. Exercises are included for the reader to practice identifying the degree of comparison in sentences.

There are three degrees of comparison in English: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is used to describe one person or thing. The comparative degree is used to compare two people or things. The superlative degree is used to compare more than two people or things and expresses the highest level. Adjectives are made comparative and superlative through different methods depending on their syllable length, ending, and whether they are regular or irregular.
This document discusses different types of adjectives and how to use them correctly. It defines adjectives as words used to qualify or describe nouns. Adjectives are divided into two main categories: qualifying adjectives and determining adjectives. Qualifying adjectives can be used attributively or predicatively and can be compared using comparative and superlative forms with suffixes like -er/-est or more/most. Determining adjectives include possessive, demonstrative, interrogative, and relative adjectives. The document provides examples and guidelines for forming comparative and superlative adjectives regularly and irregularly. It also discusses the positioning of adjectives and differences in meanings between related terms.
Rising and falling intonation are the two basic patterns of intonation in English. Rising intonation, with the voice rising at the end of a sentence, is used for yes/no questions, question tags that require an answer, and expressing doubt. Falling intonation, with the voice falling at the end, is more common and used for statements, commands, wh-questions, confirmatory question tags, and exclamations. The document provides examples of sentences demonstrating rising and falling intonation patterns and a practice dialogue for listeners to identify.

Degrees of comparison. How to change sentences from one degree to another degree, what are the rules to be followed have been discussed. Types of degrees and models of degrees have been discussed. There are four models but mostly three models used.
This document defines and provides examples of the eight main parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. It explains that nouns name people, places, things, or ideas and can be concrete or abstract. Verbs show action or state of being. Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Pronouns take the place of nouns. Prepositions relate nouns or pronouns to other words. Conjunctions join words or groups of words. Interjections express emotion.
The document discusses the degrees of comparison (positive, comparative, superlative) of adjectives in English. It provides examples of one-syllable, two-syllable, and multi-syllable adjectives and their forms in the positive, comparative and superlative degrees. Irregular adjectives like 'good', 'bad' and 'little' are also illustrated with examples of their comparative and superlative forms.
The document discusses the different types of adjectives, including adjectives of quality, quantity, number, demonstrative adjectives, and interrogative adjectives. It provides examples for each type to illustrate how adjectives describe nouns and answer questions about nouns such as what kind, how much, how many, which, and what. The document also asks the reader to identify adjectives and their kind in sample sentences.
The document discusses synonyms and antonyms. It provides examples of synonyms - words that have similar meanings like "begin" and "start". It also gives examples of antonyms - words with opposite meanings like "hot" and "cold". Some activities are described like finding synonyms and antonyms in sentences, coming up with synonyms in other languages, and playing a memory game with synonym cards. The document aims to teach about words that have the same or opposite meanings.
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. There are three types of antonyms: graded antonyms which express relationships along a continuum (e.g. good-bad), complementary antonyms which represent the only two opposite possibilities with no middle ground (e.g. true-false), and relational antonyms which require both opposites to exist (e.g. husband-wife). The document provides examples of antonym word pairs and exercises to identify antonyms.
The document discusses the differences between direct and indirect speech. It explains that direct speech uses quotation marks and maintains the same verb tenses, while indirect speech does not use quotation marks and usually changes pronouns and verb tenses. The document also provides examples of converting direct speech to indirect speech by changing pronouns like "I" to "he" and changing verb tenses like "go" to "went".
This document discusses the three degrees of comparison in English: positive, comparative, and superlative. It provides rules and examples for forming comparisons with adjectives in each degree. The positive degree describes a single person or thing. The comparative degree compares two people or things using suffixes like "-er" and "more". The superlative degree uses the suffix "-est" to compare three or more people or things. Examples are given to illustrate comparisons of adjectives like big, fast, and loud in sentences using the three degrees.
This chapter discusses objective test items, which are items with a single correct response. It covers the general characteristics and guidelines for writing different types of objective test items, including multiple choice, matching, and true/false items. It also discusses item analysis, which is the process of analyzing statistical characteristics of each item on a test to determine if items should be retained or discarded. Key aspects covered include item difficulty, item discrimination, distractor analysis, and test reliability. The document provides detailed guidelines for writing different types of objective test items and how to conduct item analysis following test administration.
The document discusses the differences between direct and indirect narration. Direct narration reports the exact words spoken without changes, while indirect narration does not report the exact words and changes pronouns, verbs, and other elements according to grammar rules. Some of the key rules for changing direct to indirect speech include changing present tenses to past tenses, changing pronouns according to the subject or object of the reported speech, changing words like today to that day, and changing interrogative sentences by removing question marks and changing verbs and auxiliaries.
An adjective describes or modifies nouns and pronouns. There are several types of adjectives including descriptive, quantitative, proper, demonstrative, possessive, interrogative, indefinite, and articles. Descriptive adjectives provide information about qualities like size, shape, or color. Quantitative adjectives indicate amounts. Proper adjectives come from proper nouns. The document then provides examples for each type of adjective.
The document discusses prepositions and provides examples of their usage. It defines prepositions as words that show the relationship between nouns, pronouns, and other parts of a sentence. Some key points include:
- Prepositions usually come before nouns or pronouns and can indicate location, time, or direction.
- There are single-word, compound, and phrase prepositions. Common prepositions include on, at, in, to, from, with, by, about, over, under, off, of, for.
- Prepositions are classified into types including prepositions of place, time, and movement.
- Examples demonstrate correct preposition usage and exceptions to rules.

Various rules for forming the comparative and superlative degrees are provided for different types of adjectives. Examples are given to illustrate the use of each degree in comparisons.
1) Comparative adjectives compare one person or thing to another or to itself at a different time, often using "than". Superlative adjectives indicate something has a quality to a greater degree than others in a group.
2) Comparative and superlative adjectives can be used before or after verbs and nouns. Adverbs of degree can also modify comparatives.
3) Specific constructions like "the...the", two linked comparatives, or prepositional phrases specifying a group can also be used with comparatives and superlatives. The same rules apply to comparative and superlative adverbs.

The document discusses degrees of comparison in adjectives and adverbs. It explains that adjectives and adverbs have three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is the basic form of an adjective or adverb and does not involve comparison. The comparative degree involves comparing two items, using suffixes like -er or more. The superlative degree involves comparing three or more items and uses the suffixes -est or most. The document provides many examples of adjectives and adverbs in the three degrees of comparison and discusses how their forms change depending on their ending. It also discusses how comparisons are made using phrases like "as...as" and how comparisons can be negative.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of adjectives. It begins by defining an adjective as a word that describes a noun or pronoun. It then discusses the three degrees of adjectives: positive, comparative, and superlative. Various ways of forming the comparative and superlative degrees are presented, along with irregular adjectives. The remainder of the document outlines eight types of adjectives: descriptive adjectives, adjectives of quantity, adjectives of number, demonstrative adjectives, possessive adjectives, interrogative adjectives, distributive adjectives, and nouns used as adjectives. Examples are provided for each type.
This document discusses the different degrees of comparison used to compare qualities in things: positive, comparative, and superlative. It provides examples for each degree and rules for forming the comparative and superlative degrees based on an adjective's syllable count and ending letters/sounds. Specifically, it notes that the positive degree simply states a quality, the comparative compares two things, and the superlative compares more than two and uses 'most' or 'least'. It then gives tables showing how to add '-er', '-est' or use 'more', 'most' based on an adjective's structure to form the comparative and superlative degrees.
The document discusses how to form comparative and superlative adjectives in English. It explains that there are two main types of adjectives: short adjectives of one or two syllables, and long adjectives of more than two syllables. For short adjectives, the comparative is formed by adding "-er" and the superlative by adding "-est". For long adjectives, "more" precedes the adjective for the comparative and "most" precedes it for the superlative. There are some exceptions to these rules. The document provides a chart that shows examples of comparative and superlative forms and the rules for irregular adjectives. It also gives examples of how to
Do you know how to appreciate someone’s quality or his helpful efforts for you? We often wish to commend people on the basis of their behavior, helpful nature or any extraordinary skill or talents. We need to use adjectives for doing it. Let’s learn what an adjective is and how to use it. Read more: https://www.englishphobia.com/2023/03/adjective-usage-and-examples.html
The document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives.
The comparative is used to compare two things and is formed by adding "-er" or "more" to adjectives. The superlative compares three or more things and is formed by adding "-est" or "most" to adjectives.
Irregular adjectives have unique forms for the comparative and superlative such as "good", "bad", and "far" which become "better", "worse", and "farther/further".
This document provides rules for forming the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives in English. It explains that the comparative form is used to compare two things and is formed by adding "-er" or "more" depending on the length of the adjective. The superlative form compares three or more things and is formed by adding "-est" or "most" depending on the length of the adjective. Several examples of regular and irregular forms are given to demonstrate how to build the comparative and superlative for different types of adjectives.
This document discusses the three degrees of comparison for adjectives: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree simply describes a quality, the comparative degree compares two people or things, and the superlative degree compares three or more. Rules are provided for forming the comparative and superlative degrees by adding suffixes like "-er" and "-est" or using words like "more" and "most." Examples demonstrate comparing people or things using each adjective form.
The document discusses the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives in English. It provides examples of how adjectives with one, two, or three or more syllables change form to indicate comparison. Adjectives with one syllable typically add "-er" for comparative and "-est" for superlative. Adjectives with two or more syllables may use "-er"/"-est" or "more"/"most" depending on their spelling. Four exercises provide examples of transforming adjectives into their comparative and superlative forms in sentences.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of adjectives: adjectives of quality, quantity, and number. It explains that adjectives of quality describe the nature or characteristics of nouns. Adjectives of quantity indicate amount, while adjectives of number show order or definiteness. There are also demonstrative adjectives like this and that. The document discusses the three degrees of adjectives - positive, comparative, and superlative - and provides examples to illustrate the differences between each degree.
This document summarizes the degrees of comparison of adjectives:
1) The positive degree describes a singular noun. The comparative degree compares two nouns. The superlative degree expresses the greatest possible degree of a descriptor.
2) Regular forms of comparatives add "-er" and superlatives add "-est". Irregular adjectives like "good", "well", and "bad" have irregular forms.
3) Examples demonstrate the rules for forming regular and irregular comparatives and superlatives and compare adjectives in sentences.
This document discusses the degrees of comparison in adjectives in Indonesian. There are three types of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree uses "as" to compare two things. The comparative degree uses "more" or "er/r" and "than" to compare two things. The superlative degree uses "the" and "est/st" to indicate the highest degree among three or more things. Irregular forms are also discussed. Different rules are provided for forming the comparative and superlative degrees based on the number of syllables and ending letters of the positive form of the adjective.
The document compares and contrasts the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives in English. It provides rules for forming the comparative using -er or more for short and long adjectives respectively. For the superlative, -est is added to short adjectives and most is used with long adjectives. Examples are given for regular and irregular adjectives. Sentence structures like "X is as Y as Z" are also covered.
The document provides context and analysis of Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain!".

A sonnet is a 14-line poem written in iambic pentameter with a set rhyme scheme. The most common types are the English or Shakespearean sonnet, which has three quatrains and a couplet, and the Italian or Petrarchan sonnet, which has an octave followed by a sestet. Sonnets were invented in Italy in the 13th century and introduced to English by Sir Thomas Wyatt in the 16th century. Famous sonnet writers include Shakespeare, Spenser, and Sidney.
Milton introduces the subject of his epic poem Paradise Lost - humankind's first act of disobedience against God, which was the eating of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve. This act brought death and suffering into the world. Milton invokes his muse, identifying it as the Holy Spirit rather than the classical muses, and says he aims to write an epic that surpasses all previous works. The poem then focuses on Satan and his rebellion against God, including his fall from heaven and speech rallying his followers to continue fighting God despite their defeat. Satan leads his legions in constructing a great temple, Pandaemonium, to convene their planning.
The knight tells the poet that he met a beautiful lady in the meadow who seduced him with her beauty and songs. They spent the day together in love and intimacy. That night, in his dreams, the knight saw visions of past kings and warriors who had been misled by the same beautiful lady and were left grieved and starving. He awoke alone on the cold hill, realizing she had bewitched him for her own ends, leaving him distressed like the others. This explained his current lonely, pale state wandering by the empty lake.
- Raina helps a Swiss mercenary soldier, Bluntschli, hide from Serbian soldiers searching her home after a battle. She provides him food and helps him escape.
- The following spring, Bluntschli returns to return an item to Raina's father. Raina's family learns her fiancé Sergius is not actually a skilled military leader as believed.
- Raina grows closer to Bluntschli, realizing he is more rational and honest than Sergius. By the end, Raina is engaged to Bluntschli instead of Sergius, upending her family's expectations.
- Roland Barthes argues that the meaning of a text depends on the reader's interpretation rather than the author's intentions. He asserts that a work's unity lies in how it is received by audiences, not in its origins or creator.
- Barthes's theory of "The Death of the Author" rejects classical literary criticism's practice of incorporating an author's biography and intentions to explain a text's meaning. Instead, it emphasizes the reader's role in deriving new insights and interpretations unconstrained by any single definitive meaning.
- By arguing that the author's role ends as soon as they fix the text in writing, Barthes elevates the status of the reader over the author and asserts that any knowledge gained comes from
- Sonnet 18 praises the youth, beauty, and positive qualities of a young man.
- It contrasts the imperfections of a summer's day with the subject's perpetual beauty and mild nature.
- The poem claims the young man's beauty will never fade with age or chance, and his memory will live on eternally through the poem.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Wordsworth's preface argues that poetry should depict ordinary and common experiences using simple language. The poet selects situations from everyday life but imbues them with imagination to present familiar things in an unusual way. Additionally, the poet should have a deeper understanding of human nature and passions than most people and use language as it is naturally used by common people rather than elaborate or artificial language. The preface establishes Wordsworth's view that poetry arises from intense emotion and should bring pleasure by focusing on ordinary human experiences.

The document discusses the key figures of English Romanticism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It outlines the contributions and most famous works of William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, Robert Burns, and Lord Byron.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray.pptxProf.Ravindra Borse
The document provides biographical information about the English poet Thomas Gray, noting that he was born in 1716 in London, died in 1771 in Cambridge, and is best known for his poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." It lists some of his notable works, including the elegy, which was written between 1745-1750 but not published until 1751. The summary analyzes the poem, describing how it uses a speaker who stands in a graveyard contemplating life and death, and the inevitability of mortality for all people, rich and poor alike. The poem suggests that some of those buried in the simple country churchyard may have had untapped talents and could have accomplished great things if given the
The poem compares the harshness of winter weather to the harshness of human nature. While the winter wind is cold and biting, the poet argues that a person's ingratitude and forgetfulness of friends is even more painful. Over two stanzas, the poet asks the winter wind to blow and the sky to freeze, noting that these physical hardships are less severe than the emotional hardship of unfaithful friends forgetting past kindnesses. The poem promotes finding simplicity and truth in nature rather than in the falseness of human relationships.

9. 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.
Consider the following sentences:
(i) Rudra is a kind man.
(ii) This baby is gorgeous.
Here, the qualities of ‘Rudra’ and ‘baby’ have been simply stated and
not been compared with those of anybody else. This is also positive
degree.

16.
17.
18.
19. 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.
Some adjectives with more than one syllable do not take ‘er’ as a suffix but ‘more’ is used before them as
follows :
(i) Ayan is more intelligent than Rehan.
(ii) Tokyo is more expensive than Delhi.
(iii) This room is more spacious than that.
(iv) He found Sherlock Holmes more interesting than Donald Duck.
Important Points about Comparative Degree
Adjectives ending in ‘or’ such as superior, inferior, prior, junior, senior, etc take ‘to’ in place of ‘than’ along with
them.
Examples:
(i) Mr Sharma is junior to (not ‘than’) Mr Mishra.
(ii) This jewellery is superior to that one.
We use ‘to’ with the verb ‘prefer’. Neither ‘er’ nor ‘than’ is used with ‘prefer’ as the verb itself means ‘to like
more’.
Examples:
(i) I prefer tea to coffee.
(ii) Madhurima preferred eating fruits to drinking juices.

29. Superlative Degree:
Superlative degree is used for the comparison of three or more things of unequal degree of a
certain quality. It is the highest degree of quality and is used to express that one person or thing
possesses the most superior of the quality among the things being talked about.
While forming the superlative form of an adjective, the suffix ‘est’ is added to the adjective which is
preceded by article ‘the’.
Examples:
(i) Resham is the wisest girl among them all.
Or
Resham is the wisest of all girls.
(ii) This is the funniest of all books that I have read so far.
(iii) Rishi is the strongest boy in our class.
(iv) You are the best friend of mine.
Some adjectives with more than two syllables that take ‘more’ in comparative degree take ‘most’ in
superlative degree.
Examples:
(i) The snake is the most dangerous animal.
(ii) The Taj Mahal is the most famous epitome of love.
(iii) Chiraag is the most handsome boy in his family.
(iv) Room no 15 in the hotel was the most convenient one for the businessmen.

43. Change of Degree
Change of degree means transformation of one
form of degree of an adjective into another
form but retaining the same meaning of the
sentence.
Let us try to understand the rules of
transforming one form of degree of comparison
into another.
44. Superlative Degree to Positive and Comparative-
When we use superlative degree to estimate the quality of an object,
we mean to say that it has the highest degree of that particular
quality among all the objects being compared. This means ‘no other’
object has that quality to the same degree.
Therefore, in positive degree, we use, ‘No other’ and in comparative
‘all other’ or ‘any other’ because the degree of the quality in the
object being talked about is ‘superior’ to that in any other object.
Examples:
(i) Superlative Degree Hardik is the strongest player of our team.
(ii) Superlative Degree Swara is the cleverest of all girls in my class.
Or
Swara is the cleverest girl in my class.
Positive Degree No other girl in my class is as clever as Swara.
Comparative Degree Swara is cleverer than any other girl (or all other
girls) in my class.
45. Positive Degree to Comparative Degree-
Both positive and comparative degree are used to compare
only two objects (i.e. two persons, ideas, or things).
Therefore, they cannot be transformed into superlative
degree.
Consider the following sentence:
“Ram is as tall as Shyam”.
This means both have equal heights. Its comparative degree
will be:
“Shyam is not taller than Ram”.
46. Some More Examples
(i) Positive Degree A glass of juice is as good as a glass of water.
Comparative Degree A glass of water is not better than a glass of
juice.
(ii) Positive Degree Question A is as simple as question B.
Comparative Degree Question B is not simpler than question A.
(iii) Positive Degree President Rule is not as good as democracy.
Comparative Degree Democracy is better than President rule.
(iv) Positive Degree Rose is as beautiful as tulip.
Comparative Degree Tulip is not more beautiful than rose.
47. Some More Examples
(i) Comparative Degree Chocolates are tastier than cookies.
Positive Degree Cookies are not so tasty as chocolates.
(ii) Comparative Degree Arushi’s house is bigger than her office.
Positive Degree Arushi’s office is not as big as her house.
(iii) Comparative Degree Mobile phones are more convenient than
tablets.
Positive Degree Tablets are not as convenient as mobile phones.
(iv) Comparitive Degree Drinking is not more dangerous than
smoking.
Positive Degree Smoking is as dangerous as drinking.
