CHAPTER--3
INTERCHANGE OF DEGREES OF COMPARISON
OBSERVE THESE EXAMPLES 👇
1)Superlative--Jack is the best student .
Comparative-Jack is better than any other student.
Positive--No other student is as good as Jack.
2) Superlative-- Cricket is one of the most popular games.
Comparative- 🏏 Cricket is more popular than most other games.
POSITIVE-- Very few games are as popular as cricket.
3) SUPERLATIVE--Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman .
COMPARATIVE---Helen of Troy was more beautiful than any other woman.
POSITIVE--No other woman was as beautiful as Helen of Troy.
☝️☝️The First example...Note that the superlative and comparative degree have the same beginning..
Jack is..
In the positive degree..the beginning in ..No other..........Jack.
(So the subject is at the end)
👉In the second example
Note that the superlative is a bit different from the first example
Cricket ....one of the most....
☝️☝️
So is the comparative
Cricket ......more popular than.....most other games (not..any other)
Note the difference in positive degree too
Very few games(not ..No other game)..are as popular as cricket.
IN INTERCHANGE OF DEGREES
👉NOTE THAT THERE CANNOT BE ANY SUPERLATIVE DEGREE IF THE COMPARISON IS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE OR PLACES OR THINGS
EXAMPLE...
A Live Ass Is Better Than A Dead 🦁 (comparative)
A Dead Lion Is Not As Good As A Live Ass.(positive)
(An easy way to get it correct--
Bring the object in front....A dead lion
If the sentence is in affirmative change it to negative ...is not
Now change the degree...as good as.
Lastly..bring the subject to the " end"....a live ass .
Putting them together
A dead lion is not as good as a live ass.
Another example of the previous type..
Ranch Is Cooler Than Kolkata
(Let's follow the example....
Kolkata is not so /as cool as Ranchi.
Iam sure you have understood it well..and have no more problems..
Now for some assignments..

2)No other metal is as useful as iron.
(Change to SUPERLATIVE DEGREE)
3)Mumbai is bigger than any other town in India.(begin..No other)
4)Akbar was one of the wisest kings.
(Change into positive degree)
