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

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 )
