The Degrees of Comparison Degrees of Comparison The degree of comparison is a grammatical concept that is related to adjectives and adverbs. It means that adjectives and adverbs are used in three different forms to compare differences between things and actions of the same category. They are positive, comparative, and superlative degrees. Keep in your mind that the degrees of comparison are related to just adjectives and adverbs. Positive Degree The positive degree is not used to compare things or actions. It just adds more details to a noun or an action. In simple words, adjectives and adverbs, other than comparative and superlative are positive. She is tall . He ran fast . Comparative Degree The comparative degree is used to compare differences between two things or compare the actions of two objects. She is taller than her mother. He ran faster than John. Superlative Degree The superlative degree is used to compare one noun with the whole group or the action...

What are Cases of Pronouns Pronouns are words that take the places of nouns to avoid repetition. As we know that a noun can be used as a subject or as an object. Similarly, when we use a pronoun instead of a noun, at first, we see the function of the noun. If the noun functions as a subject, we also use the subjective form of the pronoun. If the noun functions as an object, we use the objective form of the pronoun. If the noun shows possession, then the possessive form of the pronoun is used. Definition The case is the form a pronoun takes depending on its function in a sentence. There are three cases of pronouns in English. They are subjective, objective, and possessive. Cases of Pronouns Subjective Case When a pronoun is a subject in a sentence, it is called the subjective case of pronoun. I  have distributed all the chocolates. She  answered all the questions correctly. They  will try their best to respond to you soon. Everyone  has attempted the paper, but Ali g...

Object in Grammar Definition Object in grammar is defined as someone or something that receives an action. The receiver of action can be a noun, phrase, or clause. In this case, a phrase or clause functions as a noun. Ali studied math . In this example, the receiver of the action (studied) is math. Math is the object in this sentence. He answered all the questions . The receiver of the action in this example is all the questions. All the questions is a noun phrase that functions as a noun and is used here as an object. I listened to  what you told him . What you told him is a clause functioning as a noun and receives the action (listened). Therefore, we call this clause an object in this sentence. Types of Objects There are two types of objects named direct objects and indirect objects. It must be in your mind that we categorize objects as direct and indirect only when we have two objects in a sentence. If there is just one object in a sentence, it must be a dire...

Definite Article in Grammar What is the definite article? The word “The” is the definite article that is most frequently used before a noun to indicate that the noun is specific. Specific means that the noun is unique, previously known, or identified by the speaker. A definite article in grammar is used with any nouns i.e., singular, plural, countable, or uncountable. The book I studied yesterday was interesting. Who did spill the milk that I bought for my cat? You must follow the instructions that you teacher your teacher gave you. It is important to note that a definite article is an adjective. It also modifies a noun or pronoun in a sentence. According to some grammarians, it is a separate part of speech with the name “Articles”. The definite article in grammar is one of them. In contrast with the definite article, we have indefinite articles that we use before a singular noun. They indicate that the noun is indefinite. Indefinite articles are ‘a’ and ‘an’. I eat a...
