English Assignment ...... (Degrees of Comparison, Question Words, 5W+1H in English Newspaper)

1)  DEGREE OF COMPARISON
The Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.
Kinds of comparison:
http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/my_documents/my_pictures/2011/jan/718_Untitled.png

1.      POSITIVE DEGREE: 
Ex: Tom is tall a boy.
In this sentence the word ‘tall’ is an adjective telling us how Tom is.  There is no other person or thing in this sentence used to compare Tom with, but it is the general way of saying about persons, animals and things that they have some quality (here ‘tallness’) above average in general sense. The adjective word ‘tall’ is said to be  in the “positive form”.
This comparison is called “positive degree” comparison.
There are two more comparisons with the ‘positive form’ of the adjective words. They are:
(i)  Degree of Equality: This comparison is used to compare two persons, animals or things to tell us that they are equal – having the same quality.

Ex:
1.      The atis tree is tall.
2.      Anita is young.
3.      Chicos are expensive.
4.      Carlo is intelligent.


2.      COMPARATIVE DEGREE:
Ex : Tom is a tall boy.                   Tom is taller than his sister.                                               
In the second sentence the word ‘taller’ is an adjective used to compare the ‘tallness’ of these two persons – Tom and his sister – and to tell us that Tom has more of the quality of ‘tallness’.
Therefore, an adjective word which shows the difference of quality betweentwotwo groups of persons, animals or things is said to be in the ‘comparative form’. persons, animals or things, or
This comparison is called “Comparative Degree”.
There are two more degrees of comparison with the ‘comparative form’ of an adjective. They are:
(i)  Parallel Degree: This comparison is used to show that the qualities of two items (adjectives or adverbs) talked about in the given sentence go parallel, i.e. if one quality (adjective or adverb) increases, the other quality (adjective or adverb) increases, and if one quality decreases, the other quality also decreases.

The bigger the box, the heavier it is.
(ii)  Progressive Degree: This comparison is used to show that the quality of a thing (adjective or adverb) talked about in the given sentence increases as the time passes, for example:
1.      The ipil-ipil tree is taller than the atis tree.
2.      Josephine is younger than Anita.
3.      Mangoes are more expensive than chicos.
4.      Alex is more intelligent than Carlo. 
5.      It’s getting hotter and hotter day by day. 

3.      SUPERLATIVE DEGREE:
Ex: A musk ox is a large animal.         An elephant is largethan a musk ox.
The blue whale is the largest of all animals.
The blue whale is the largest of all animals in the world.
In this sentence the word (the) ‘largest’ is an adjective used to compare the “largeness” of the blue whale and to tell us that the blue whale has the most quality of ‘largeness’.
This comparison is used to compare one person, animal or thing with more than two persons, animals or things (the rest of the group of more than two), and to say that the particular one has the highest degree of that       particular quality (here the comparison is between the blue whale and the rest of the animals, more than two). The adjective ‘large’ is said to be in the ‘superlative form’.
This comparison is called “Superlative Degree”.
Ex :
1.      The acacia tree is the tallest of all them.
2.      Irene is the youngest of them all.
3.      Grapes are the most expensive of the three.
4.      Eric is the most intelligent of the three.

A city in western India has suffered through the country's highest temperature in history a scorching 51 degrees Celsius.
The record was set Thursday in the city of Phalodi, in the western state of Rajasthan. India's meteorological department said the previous high was 50.6 Celsius ( 123 F ), reached in 1956 in the city of Alwar, also in Rajasthan.
Authorities have issued a severe heat wave alert for the next two days in the western states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and parts of the central state of Madhya Pradesh. That means the areas can expect temperatures as high as 47 degrees Celsius ( 116.6 Fahrenheit ) or more.
The main summer months — April, May and June — are always excruciatingly hot across most parts of India before monsoon rains and cool temperatures arrive.
The monsoon hits southern India in the first week of June and covers the rest of the country within a month.
This year — as temperatures hit new highs — the monsoon is especially eagerly awaited as several parts of the country are reeling under a drought brought on by two years of weak rains.
The prolonged heat wave this year has already killed hundreds and destroyed crops in more than 13 states, impacting hundreds of millions of Indians.
Hundreds of farmers are reported to have killed themselves across the country and tens of thousands of small farmers have been forced to abandon their farmland and live in squalor in urban slums in order to earn a living.
Rivers, lakes and dams have dried up in many parts of the western states of Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat, and overall officials say that groundwater reservoirs are severely depleted.
In some areas, the situation is so bad the government has sent in water by train for emergency relief.
