Degrees of Comparison

 

Degrees of Comparison

 * Adjectives and Adverbs change in form to show comparison. They are called the three Degree of Comparison.

अँगरेजी भाषा में ऐसे अनेक Adjectives और Adverbs हैं जो तुलना दिखाने के लिए अपना रूप बदल लेते हैं और हमें प्रत्येक के तीन रूप प्राप्त होते हैं, जिन्हें Three Degrees of Comparison कहते हैं।  

Degrees of Comparison के तीन प्रकार हैं

1. Positive Degree

2. Comparative Degree

3. Superlative Degree

1. Positive Degree: 

* जब कोई Adjective या Adverb अपने सरल रूप में रहता है, तब इसे Positive Degree में होना समझा जाता है।

* When an adjective or adverb is in its simple form, it is said to be in the positive degree.

Examples: good, old, fat, big, sweet, strong, slowly, etc.

He is an old man.

Ram is very fat.

I saw a big car there.

My brother is strong.

He runs slowly.

She is tall.

2. Comparative Degree: 

* जब Adjective या Adverb से दो व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं के गुणों की तुलना का बोध होता है, तब इसे Comparative Degree में होना समझा जाता है।

* When an adjective or adverb is used to compare the qualities of two persons or things together, it is said to be in the comparative degree.

Examples: better, older, bigger, stronger, more slowly, etc.

This pen is better than that pen.

This tree is older than that tree.

He was stronger than his enemy.

He runs more slowly than Ram.

3. Superlative Degree: 

* Adjective या adverb से 3 या 3 से अधिक व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं की तुलना का बोध होता है, तब इसे Superlative Degree में होना समझा जाता है।

* When an adjective or adverb is used to compare the qualities of three or more than three persons or things together, it is said to be in the superlative degree.

Examples: best, oldest, biggest, strongest, most slowly, etc.
