    DEGREE OF COMPARISON

    Degrees of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.

    There are three Degrees of Comparison in English.

    They are:

    1. Positive degree.

    2. Comparative degree.

    3. Superlative degree.

    Let us see all of them one by one.

    1.Positive degree.

    When we speak about only one person or thing,We use the Positive degree.

    Examples:

    This house is big.

    In this sentence only one noun The house is talked about.

    He is a tall student.

    This flower is beautiful.

    He is an intelligent boy.

    Each sentence mentioned above talks about only one noun.

    The second one in the Degrees of Comparison is...


    2.Comparative degree.

    When we compare two persons or two things with each other,

    We use both the Positive degree and Comparative degree.

    Examples:

    a. This house is bigger than that one. (Comparative degree)

    This house is not as big as that one. (Positive degree)

    The term bigger is comparative version of the term big.

    Both these sentences convey the same meaning.


    b. This flower is more beautiful than that. (Comparative)

    This flower is not as beautiful as that. (Positive)

    The term more beautiful is comparative version of the term beautiful.

    Both these sentences convey the same meaning.


    c. He is more intelligent than this boy. (Comparative)

    He is not as intelligent as this boy. (Positive)


    The term more intelligent is comparative version of the term intelligent.

    Both these sentences convey the same meaning.


    d. He is taller than Mr. Hulas. (Comparative)

    He is not as tall as Mr. Hulas. (Positive)


    The term taller is comparative version of the term tall.
