PSEB 6th Class English Grammar Adjectives

An Adjective is a defining word. It is used with a Noun to tell us something more about that noun; as-
Adjective एक व्याख्यात्मक शब्द है। इसका प्रयोग किसी संज्ञा (Noun) के साथ उसके बारे में कुछ और बताने के लिए किया जाता है।

1. He is a tall boy.
2. She is a rich lady.
3. I have many books.

We can use Adjectives to compare (तुलना करना) the qualities of Nouns; as-

1. Chintu is a fat boy.
2. Mintu is fatter than Chintu.
3. Pintu is the fattest of the three.

The words fat, fatter and fattest show the degrees of a quality. We call them Degrees of Comparison.

Degrees Of Comparison

There can be three Degrees of Comparison:

1. Positive Degree.
2. Comparative Degree.
3. Superlative Degree.

1. Positive Degree : The ordinary form (साधारण रूप) of the adjective is called Positive Degree; as-

• Meena is a tall girl.
• June is a hot month.
• Dhawan is a good player.

2. Comparative Degree : When two things of the same class are compared, we use the Comparative Degree; as-

• Anita is taller than Payal.
• May is hotter than April.
• Virat is a better player than Murli.

3. Superlative Degree : When one thing is compared with all others of the same class, we use the Superlative Degree; as-

• Anita is the tallest of the three.
• June is the hottest month of the year.
• Virat is the best player in our cricket team.

Note that we usually use-
“the’ before a Superlative Degree.
“than’ after a Comparative Degree.
