    EXERCISE

    1. Change these sentences to comparative and superlative Degrees.


    a. Mary is the most intelligent student
    b. Peter is the tallest
    c. Student are reading the most important book of Shakespeare.
    2. Explain when do we use short and longer adjective in the sentence structure and
    justify by providing examples?
    In simple terms, an adjective is a word which is used to give extra information about a noun, or which
    helps to describe it. When we want to compare two or more nouns, we use a comparative adjective.
    When we want to talk about a single noun, and explain what makes it different to other nouns, we use
    a superlative adjective.
    Comparative construction - Short Adjectives
    Most one-syllable adjectives and some two-syllable adjectives take the ending '--er'.
     young --> younger
    If the base adjective ends in "--y" we replace the "y" with "i":

     heavy --> heavier


    If the base adjective ends in "--e" we only add an "r":
     large --> larger
    If the adjective ends with a single vowel +consonant, we double the consonant and add "--er":
     big --> bigger
    Some very common adjectives have irregular comparative forms:
     good --> better

    Comparative construction - Longer Adjectives


    Most adjectives which have two or more syllables are changed to a comparative form by
    adding 'more' (for positive comparisons) or 'less' (for negative comparisons) in front of the base
    adjective. The form 'as + comparative + as' can also be used with longer adjective forms.
     My father is more impatient than my mother.
     My brother is less intelligent than me.
     The BMW M3 is more expensive than the 330i, but it is more economical.
     Stephen King's latest book is not as interesting as 'The Green Mile
    Superlative Construction - Short Adjectives
    One-syllable adjectives (and some common two-syllable adjectives) become superlative by adding the
    ending '--est'.
     young --> youngest

    If the adjective ends in '--y' we replace the 'y' with 'i' :


     heavy --> heaviest

    If the adjective already ends in '--e' we only add '--st' :


     large --> largest
    If the adjective ends in a single vowel + consonant, we double the consonant and add"--est":
     big --> biggest

    Some very common superlatives have irregular forms:


     good --> best

    Superlative construction - Longer Adjectives


    Most adjectives which have two or more syllables are changed to a superlative form by adding 'the most'
    for positive comparisons and 'the least' for negative comparisons in front of the base adjective:

    Examples:
     My father is the least patient man I know.
     I am the most intelligent boy in my school.
     The new Aston Martin is the most expensive car ever made in Britain.
     Professor Stephen Hawking has the most original mind in modern science.
    3. Differentiate present from past tense by providing the fresh examples?

    Verb tenses are one of the biggest English grammar rules that language learners must master. With many different
    verb tenses,
    Present Tense
    Present tense is the English verb tense that shows action that is currently happening or continually happening. It has
    a sense of immediacy. Typically, this tense has the base form of the verb if the subject is plural and the base form of
    the verb plus an “s” if the subject is singular.
     She jumps over the stream.
     The children climb on the playground equipment.
     They go to the store after school.
    Past Tense
    Simple past tense is the verb tense that shows action that occurred some time
    in the past. It doesn’t matter if it was last week, last night or last year, if it was
    in the past, this is the tense that applies to past events. With regular verbs,
    you form the simple past tense by taking the base form of the verb and adding
    -ed.
     The dog went to the vet for his checkup.
     The family skied down the slope together.
     The mother and daughter shopped until they dropped.
