Common Errors Related to Degree Change for Competitive Exams Group B

Group B.

1.If comparison between→ two noun i.e., noun or noun equivalents then after ‘prefer’ ’to’ is used.→(Prefer के बाद to का प्रयोग होता है यदि तुलना दो noun या noun equivalents में हो तो I )

Example

She prefers milk to tea.

Milk→Noun

Tea→Noun Equivalent. (अर्थात संज्ञा अनुरूप )

Note→ If the comparison between two Infinitives then use of  ‘rather than’ =  after ‘prefer’.(किंतु ‘rather than’ का प्रयोग ‘prefer’ के बाद होता है यदि तुलना दो Infinitives के बीच हो रही हो तो I )

Example

He prefers to sit rather than sleep.

                 Infinite                Infinite.

2. After Preferable → “to” is used.( Preferable के बाद “to” का प्रयोग होता है I )

Example

Winter is preferable to summer.

3.If adjectives are joined with “and” then both will be in the same degree.

(यदि दो या अधिक विशेषण “and” से जुडें हों तो दोनो एक ही डीग्री में होगें I )

Example

Good and wise (Both are in Positive Degree)

better and wiser (Both are in comparative Degree)

best and wisest (Both are in Superlative Degree)

4.How we can change the degree ? (डीग्री परिवर्तन कैसे करें ? )

From Superlative to Comparative and Positive. (Superlative से Comparative और  Positive बनाना I )

Superlative→He is best boy in the class.

Comparative→He is better than all other boys in the class.

                                         Or,

He is better than any other boy in the class.

Rules→Comparative + than	All other + Noun (Plural)
	Any other + Noun (Singular)

5. No other + Noun (singular) + ………. + so / as + Positive Degree Adjective + as …………

6.If comparison among all group member or with things to other person or things. then → (यदि तुलना एक समुह के सारे व्यक्तियों या वस्तुओं की किसी अन्य व्यक्ति या वस्तु से हो तो I )

→ No + Noun (Singular) + ………. so / as + Positive Degree Adjective + as …….

Example

(i) No city in India is so/as good as London.

(ii) No country in Asia is as rich as America.

7.Synthesis of Positive Degree and Comparative Degree.

(Positive Degree और Comparative Degree का संशलेषण I )

(i) He is as good as you (Positive Degree)

(ii) He is not better than you (Comparative Degree)

If we do synthesis the above sentence ( यदि उपरोक्त वाक्यों का संशलेषण करें तो I )

→He is as good as if not better than you.

In the exam from the degree portion the synthesis based questions are asked in common error, where they remove ‘as’ from the sentence and sometime remove ‘than’ from the sentence more over instead of comparative degree, they use superlative degree for error correction.

(परिक्षाओं में कामन ऐरर से  डीग्री चेंज से संशलेषण सम्बन्धि प्रश्न पुछे जाते हैं जिन्में वे वाक्यों से कभी ‘as’ को हटा देते हैं तो कभी ‘than’ को या फिर comparative degree के बदले superlative degree का प्रयोग कर देते हैं I )

Example

Anjali’s performance in the / drama was best than / Deepali’s but not / as good as Vaishal’s / No error.

→Here better should be used instead of ‘best’.
