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.
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.
This man is tall. (‘tall’ — adjective – predicative)

Regulation of Degree of Comparison
The use of comparative and superlative depending on
the number of syllables its adjective (adjective). e.g: Tall (one syllable),
Famous (two syllables), Beautiful (three syllables)
1 syllable: stay nambahi -est / -er in tow.
Example: I am slimer than you. My father is oldest
in my family.
2 syllables. Some use no more use for comparative
-er. For anyone using -est superlative anyone use most.
Example: Tukul more famous than gogon or may also
Tukul cleverer than gogon; We are the cleverest / most clever creation of God.
3 or more. Musti mandatory bin must use Most and
More.
Example: She is the most beautiful girl in my life.
Exception:
some adjectives in comparative and superlative will
experience a double-pen's last letter. such as: big> bigger and biggest;
sad> sadder and Saddest.
If the adjective ends with the letter "y",
it is replaced with "i". Such as: Happy> Happiest and Happier
Exceptions Special alias words below amendments are
as follows:
Bad> Worse> Worstgambar I am the best for a
full explanation of the degree of comparison and an example sentence
Good> Better> Best
Little> Less> Least
Much> More> Most
Kinds of comparison:
1. POSITIVE DEGREE
Positive Degree (Ordinary Level) is an adjective
used to declare an object or person in the same situation with the other. The
sentence structure is formed by placing the adjective (adjectives) between the
two axles.
to be + as + adjective + as
Example :
- He is as tall as his uncle.
- Najlia is as smart as Rania.
- You are as small as my sister.
2. COMPARATIVE DEGREE
Comparative Degree (Level More) used to declare that
a state of an object or person over another. Sentence formation rules are as
follows:
to be + comparative + than
Information :
- Add the suffix "er" to the adjective
(adjectives) a short (usually consisting of one or two syllables), combine it
with the word "than".
- To adjective (adjectives) longer (more than two
syllables) is generally preceded by the word "more" before the adjective,
followed by the word "than".
Example :
- My house is larger than Doni's house.
- Magazine is more interesting than newspaper.
- Magazine is more interesting than newspaper.
- Mr.Jack is richer than Mr. Black.
3. SUPERLATIVE DEGREE
Superlative Degree (Level least) is used to indicate
that an object or person is most than others.
to be + the superlative
Information :
- Add suffix "est" to the adjective short
sentences (generally consisting of one or two syllables). Preceded by the
article "the".
- To adjective (adjectives) longer (more than two
syllables) is generally preceded by the word "most" before
adjectives. Preceded by the word "the".
- Adjective that ends with the letter -e converted
into a superlative by adding the letter "-est".
Example :
A musk ox is a large animal.
An elephant is larger than a musk ox.
The blue whale is the largest of all animals.
The blue whale is the largest of all animals in the
world.
Question words

Active / Passive Verb Forms
Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore,
tenses also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You
must learn to recognize the difference to successfully speak English.
Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is
the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object.
Most sentences are active.
Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action
is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally
included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you
think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be
emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing
the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.
Examples :
Examples :
-Indra four squid meal at lunchtime. (active)
At lunch, four squid eaten by the senses. (passive)
-beautiful camels roam pastures. (active)
savannah wandering the beautiful camel. (passive)
-japri change a flat tire. (active)
Flat tire has been changed by Sue. (passive)
-We'll go to the movies tonight. (active)
A movie theater will be watched by us tonight.
(passive)
-I ran hurdles in a short time. (active)
Hurdle is run by me in a short time. (passive)
Definition of an Adjective Clause
In order to understand an adjective clause, let's
define the two words individually. Anadjective is a word that describes or
modifies a noun. A clause is a group of words that has both a subject
and a verb. If the clause expresses a complete thought, then it is a complete
sentence. If it doesn't, it is what we call a dependent clause, as it
depends on the main clause of the sentence to form a complete thought. An adjective
clause, then, is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb that
modifies a noun in a sentence. Adjective clauses are dependent
clauses.
Examples
That I sold him
Which is located in Italy
Who is intelligent
Whom we met after the movie
Whose writing is always intriguing
When the leaves turn colors and fall
Where I went to elementary school
Why the movie was a flop
That was a bestseller
Who live by the ocean
Conditional Sentences
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional
Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main
clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the
clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional
Sentences.
Conditional Sentence Type 1
→ It is possible and also very likely that
the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her
an invitation.

Conditional Sentence Type 2
→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the
condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If I found her address, I would send
her an invitation.
more on Conditional Sentences Type II
Conditional Sentence Type 3
→ It is impossible that the condition will
be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Example: If I had found her address, I would
have sent her an invitation.
