D. Grammar
D.1. Making comparisons
Read the following line from the poem :
The simplest things in life are best.
In the above sentence the word 'simplest' and 'best' are in superlative degree.
Usually when we add 'est' to words like simple, tall, near, brave, fine, small, great etc., they are said to be in their superlative form. When we add 'er' to them they are in their comparative form. For example:
small smaller Smallest
tall taller tallest
great greater greatest
near nearer nearest
Now, change the following words in their comparative and superlative forms:
rich richer richest
Poor poorer poorest
Dark darker darkest
Bright brighter brightest
Old older oldest
Young younger youngest
Simple simpler simplest
Now look at comparative and superlative forms of the following words:
| Positive | Comparative | Superlative |
|---|---|---|
| Good | better | best |
| Bad | worse | worst |
| Little | less | least |
| Much | more | most |
Here you see that new words have come in their comparative and superlative forms and 'er' or 'est' has not been added to them.
Words of more than one syllable take 'more' before them in their comparative and 'most' in superlative form.
Examples:
| Beautiful | more Beautiful |
most Beautiful |
| Inteligent | more Inteligent |
most Inteligent |
| Labouriois | more Labouriois |
most Labouriois |
| Useful | more Useful |
most Useful |
Write down the comparative and superlative forms of the words given below :
difficult more difficult most difficult
favourite more favourite most favourite
