Comparison of Adjective

 COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVE

The comparison of adjectives is used to show how one thing compares to another. There are three forms: **Positive**, **Comparative**, and **Superlative**. Here's how each works:

### 1. **Positive Form**:

   - This is the basic form of the adjective. It simply describes a noun without comparing it to anything else.

   - **Examples**: 

     - Big

     - Tall

     - Beautiful

   - **Example Sentence**: She is a *smart* student.

### 2. **Comparative Form**:

   - The comparative form compares **two** things. It is usually formed by adding "-er" to the adjective or using "more" before longer adjectives.

   - **Examples**: 

     - Bigger

     - Taller

     - More beautiful

   - **Example Sentence**: She is *smarter* than her brother.

   

   **Rules for forming comparatives**:

   - For short adjectives (one syllable), add **"-er"** (e.g., *small → smaller*).

   - If the adjective ends in **"-e"**, just add **"-r"** (e.g., *nice → nicer*).

   - For two-syllable adjectives ending in **"-y"**, change **"-y"** to **"-ier"** (e.g., *happy → happier*).

   - For longer adjectives (usually two syllables or more), use **"more"** before the adjective (e.g., *more beautiful*).

### 3. **Superlative Form**:

   - The superlative form compares **three or more** things. It is usually formed by adding "-est" to the adjective or using "most" before longer adjectives.

   - **Examples**: 

     - Biggest

     - Tallest

     - Most beautiful

   - **Example Sentence**: She is the *smartest* student in the class.

   **Rules for forming superlatives**:

   - For short adjectives, add **"-est"** (e.g., *small → smallest*).

   - If the adjective ends in **"-e"**, just add **"-st"** (e.g., *nice → nicest*).

   - For two-syllable adjectives ending in **"-y"**, change **"-y"** to **"-iest"** (e.g., *happy → happiest*).

   - For longer adjectives, use **"most"** before the adjective (e.g., *most beautiful*).

### Irregular Comparisons:

Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms. These don’t follow the usual rules:

- **Good → Better → Best**

- **Bad → Worse → Worst**

- **Far → Farther/Further → Farthest/Furthest**

### Examples in Sentences:

- **Positive**: He is a *strong* man.

- **Comparative**: He is *stronger* than his brother.

- **Superlative**: He is the *strongest* in the group.

Kind of Adjective

   These adjectives point out **which specific nouns** or pronouns are being referred to.

   - Examples: *This*, *that*, *these*, *those*

   - **Example Sentence**: *These* apples are fresh.

### 4. **Possessive Adjectives**:

   Possessive adjectives show **ownership** or possession.

   - Examples: *My*, *your*, *his*, *her*, *its*, *our*, *their*

### 5. **Interrogative Adjectives**:

   - **Cardinal**: one, two, three (e.g., "She has *two* dogs.")

   - **Ordinal**: first, second, third (e.g., "He won *first* prize.")

### 8. **Proper Adjectives**:

Framing Questions in English

 **Framing Questions in English**

Framing questions involves constructing sentences to obtain information. The structure of a question depends on the type of question you are asking, such as yes/no questions, wh-questions, and questions involving modal verbs. Here’s a guide to framing different types of questions:

### **1. Yes/No Questions**

Yes/No questions are designed to elicit a simple "yes" or "no" response. They are usually formed by placing an auxiliary (helping) verb before the subject.

#### **Formula:**

**Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Main Verb + Object/Complement?**

#### **Examples:**

- **Present Simple:** 

  - **Do** you like pizza?

  - **Does** she work here?

- **Present Continuous:**

  - **Are** they coming to the party?

  - **Is** he studying now?

- **Past Simple:**

  - **Did** you see the movie?

  - **Was** it raining yesterday?

- **Future Simple:**

  - **Will** you join us?

  - **Shall** we start the meeting?

### **2. Wh-Questions**

Wh-questions are used to seek specific information and start with a question word (who, what, where, when, why, how).

#### **Formula:**

**Question Word + Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Main Verb + Object/Complement?**

#### **Examples:**

- **Who:** 

  - **Who** is your favorite author?

  - **Who** did you invite?

- **What:** 

  - **What** are you doing?

  - **What** time does the train arrive?

- **Where:** 

  - **Where** do you live?

  - **Where** are my keys?

- **When:** 

  - **When** will the concert start?

  - **When** did they arrive?

- **Why:** 

  - **Why** are you late?

  - **Why** did she leave early?

- **How:** 

  - **How** do you make coffee?

  - **How** are you feeling today?

### **3. Questions with the Verb "To Be"**

When using the verb *to be* (am, is, are, was, were), the verb comes before the subject.

#### **Formula:**

**To Be Verb + Subject + Object/Complement?**

#### **Examples:**

- **Present Simple:** 

  - **Are** you tired?

  - **Is** she your sister?

- **Past Simple:** 

  - **Was** it cold yesterday?

  - **Were** they at home?

### **4. Questions with Modal Verbs**

Questions with modal verbs (can, could, will, would, shall, should, may, might) are formed by placing the modal verb before the subject.

#### **Formula:**

**Modal Verb + Subject + Main Verb + Object/Complement?**

#### **Examples:**

- **Can:** 

  - **Can** you swim?

  - **Can** she help us?

- **Would:** 

  - **Would** you like some tea?

  - **Would** they be willing to negotiate?

- **Should:** 

  - **Should** we leave now?

  - **Should** I call them?

### **5. Negative Questions**

Negative questions are used to confirm something or express surprise and are formed by adding **not** to the auxiliary or modal verb, often using contractions.

#### **Formula:**

**Auxiliary/Modal Verb + Subject + not + Main Verb + Object/Complement?**

#### **Examples:**

- **Do not:** 

  - **Don’t** you like coffee?

  - **Doesn’t** she understand?

- **Will not:** 

  - **Won’t** you come with us?

  - **Won’t** they finish the project?

- **Can not:** 

  - **Can’t** you see the problem?

  - **Can’t** they find the way?

### **6. Tag Questions**

Tag questions are used to confirm or check information and consist of a statement followed by a short question.

#### **Formula:**

**Statement + Auxiliary Verb + Subject (pronoun)?**

#### **Examples:**

- **You are coming, aren’t you?**

- **She doesn’t like it, does she?**

- **They will be there, won’t they?**

### **Examples in Sentences:**

- **Yes/No Question:** *Do you like ice cream?*

- **Wh-Question:** *What time does the meeting start?*

- **To Be Question:** *Is she your friend?*

- **Modal Question:** *Can you drive?*

- **Negative Question:** *Don’t you want to join us?*

- **Tag Question:** *You’re going to the party, aren’t you?*

### **Summary:**

To frame questions in English:

- For **yes/no questions**, use auxiliary verbs before the subject.

- For **wh-questions**, start with a question word followed by the auxiliary and subject.

- For questions using the **verb "to be"**, place the verb before the subject.

- For **modal verbs**, position the modal before the subject.

- Use **negative questions** to confirm or express surprise.

- **Tag questions** add a short question at the end of a statement to seek confirmation.

These structures help in effectively asking questions and gathering information.
