DEGREES 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.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF DEGREES OF COMPARISON

1. Positive Degree

→ The Pasitive Degree is used to denote the mere existence of quality.The Positive Degree of an adjective in comparison is the adjective in its simple form. It is used to denote the mere existence of some quality of what we speak about. It is used when no comparison is made.

Example of Positive Degree :

§ It is a tall building.

§ Apple is sweet to taste.

§ Very few Indian saints were as popular as Vivekananda.

§ No other boy in the class is as intelligent as James.

§ Very few countries in the world are as large as China.

2. Comparative Degree

→ The Comparative Degree is used to compare the qualities of two persons or things.The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the quality than the positive. It is used when two things (or two sets of things) are compared.

Example of Comparative Degree :

§ This building is taller than any other building.

§ Apple is sweeter than pear.

§ Vivekananda was more popular than most other Indian saints.

§ James is more intelligent than any other boy in the class

§ China is larger than most other countries in the world.

3. Superlative Degree

→ The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.

Example of Superlative Degree :

§ This is the tallest building.

§ Apple is the sweetest fruit.

§ Vivekananda was one of the most popular Indian saints.

§ James is the most intelligent boy in the class.

§ China is one of the largest countries in the world.

QUESTION WORD

An interrogative word or question word is a function word used to ask a question, such as what, when, where, who, whom, why, and how. They are sometimes called wh-words, because in English most of them start with wh- (compare Five Ws).

Lion Air ground-handling permit suspended

The Transportation Ministry has suspended the ground-handling permit of the country's largest low-cost carrier Lion Air at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Banten, as a result of the airline’s alleged mishandling of its passengers last week.

In an official letter seen by The Jakarta Post, the ministry cited the Aviation Law, Ministerial Decree No. 55/2015 on airports, as well as Ministerial Decree No. 56/2015 on the airport business as the basis of the sanction.

The sanction will be effective as of May 22.

The ministry imposed the sanction following an incident on May 10 when a bus transporting 40 Lion Air passengers from Singapore was misdirected to Terminal 1 for domestic flights instead of the international Terminal 2, hence allowing at least 16 passengers to skip immigration checks.

Four passengers remained unable to be contacted by immigration and customs authorities as of Monday. One of whom is a foreign national from Hungary.

However, when contacted, Lion Air spokesperson Andy Saladin said that the airline had not received the letter.

He declined to comment on the issue, including who would provide ground-handling services for Lion Air passengers at the airport during the suspension.( dmr )

ACTIVE SENTENCES

A verb is said to be in active voice when the subject performs the verb.

Look at this example of the active voice :

Active voice is a quality of a verb that describes when its subject is acting out the verb. When the opposite is true (i.e., the subject of the sentence is being acted upon by the verb), it is said to be in passive voice.

EXAMPLE OF ACTIVE SENTENCES

The kite soared high in the air.
The children shielded their eyes from the bright sun.
A squirrel quickly ran across the grass to climb a giant tree.
Paul imagined the animals different cloud shapes could from.
The ants swarmed the picnic with military precision.

PASSIVE SENTENCES

A Verb is said to be in the passive voice when its subject does not perform the action of the verb. In fact, the action is performed on the subject.

Look at this example of the passive voice :

Passive voice is a quality of a verb that describes when the subject of a sentence is acted upon by the verb. When the opposite is true (i.e., the subject of the sentence is acting out the verb), it is said to be in active voice.

EXAMPLE OF PASSIVE SENTENCES

Everyone was startled by the power outage.
A scream was heard coming from across the house.
The candles were extinguished as we rushed to the scream.
The crime was illuminated shortly by flashes of lightning.
Lieutenant Lavender was caught by the brilliant detective Educator Emerald.

RELATIVE CLAUSES

What is Relative Clauses?

A relative clause is one kind of dependent clause. It has a subject and verb, but can’t stand alone as a sentence. It is sometimes called an “adjective clause” because it functions like an adjective—it gives more information about a noun. A relative clause always begins with a “relative pronoun,” which substitutes for a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun when sentences are combined.

The relative pronouns are :

Who	For people	Can substitute for subject nouns/pronouns (he, she, we, they )
Whom	For people	can substitute for object nouns/pronouns (him, her, us, them)
Whose	For people	can substitute for possessive nouns/pronouns (his, hers, our, their)
That	For people or things	can be either subject or object can only be used in restrictive relative clauses (see below)
Which	For things	can be either subject or object can be used in non-restrictive relative clauses can also be used in restrictive relative clauses, though some people don’t like this use

EXAMPLE OF PASSAGE CONTAIN RELATIVE CLAUSES

Several options were recommended for treating the patient's arthritis. One of the options that we considered was using indomethacin. Indomethacin which is one of the most commonly used antiinflammatory drugs was not successful, so we decided to use piroxicam which is known to have fewer side effects. The patient responded well to this treatment, her response was a relief to us.

Note :

Red mark ( that, which and which) in Paragraphs above is part of the Relative Pronouns.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES THEORY

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

1. Conditional Sentence Type 1

→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.

Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example of Conditional Sentence Type 1 :

§ If it rains, you will get wet.

§ You will get wet if it rains.

§ If Sally is late again I will be mad.

§ I will be mad if Sally is late again.

§ If you don't hurry, you will miss the bus.

2. Conditional Sentence Type 2

→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
