Degree of comparison is one of English grammar are often
used in practice both written and conversational. The material degree of
comparison is included in the category adverbal and adjectives for use both
these elements to create a degree of comparison sentence.
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.
Degree of comparison itself is divided into three, namely
positive, comparative and superlative, all three are equally serves as
something used to compare.
a. Positive Degree Is an adjective used to declare an object or person in the same situation with
the other.
Example :
a. He is as tall as his uncle.
b. Najlia is as smart as Rania.
c. You are as small as my sister.
b. Comparative Degree
Is used to express the comparison, where the
adjective and adverb changes.
If the adjective or adverb is
composed of one syllable such as smart, big, low
then add in the 'er' if more than one syllable like handsome, beautiful, expensive
then add in the 'More',
then any comparison in the added 'than 'meaning' than'.
Example :
a.
My house is larger
than Doni's house.
b.
Magazine is more
interesting than newspaper.
c.
Mr.Jack is richer
than Mr. Black.
Is used to express the comparison, where the
adjective and adverb change.
If the adjective or adverb is composed of one syllable such as
smart, big, low
then add in the 'est' if more than one syllable like handsome, beautiful,expensive
then add in the 'Most', the superlative is used to compare at least 3
or more and
it always begins with the word 'the'.
Example :
a.
Love is the most
expensive thing in the world.
b.
My father is the
most handsome man in the world .
c.
My home is the
smallest one in the village.
An interrogative word or question word is a
function word used to ask a question, such as what, when, where, who, why and how. They are
sometimes called wh-words,
because in English most of them start with wh- (compare Five Ws).
We use question words to ask certain types of questions (question word questions). We often refer to them as WH words because they include the letters WH (for example Why, How).

The police have named three suspects
for the murder of EP, a worker at a plastic factory in Kosambi, Tangerang,
Banten province. The suspects are RA, 15, R, 20, and IH, 24.
“They all admitted what roles they
played during the reenactment at the crime scene last night,” Tangerang Police
detective chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Sutarmo said Monday.Before murdering the
18-year-old girl, the three suspects gang raped her, he said. “We found semen
spilled all over the victim’s room,” he was quoted by tempo.co as saying.
According to the police
investigators, the suspects had admitted that they strangled the victim with a
pillow until she nearly fainted and took turns to rape her. Reportedly, one of
the suspects then took a hoe and stuck its handle into the woman’s private
parts and then kicked the wooden handle so it penetrated deeper. “At that time,
the victim was still alive.” Sutarmo said.
The sadistic murder allegedly
started when RA, who is the victim’s boyfriend, came to the boarding house for
factory workers where EP lives on Thursday evening at 11:30 p.m.. RA, who had
only been acquainted with EP for one month, reportedly asked EP to have sex,
but she declined his request. Irked, RA went out the room and met two of his
friends R and IH.
The three friends allegedly forced
their way into the room and committed the offense. EP’s body was discovered by
her friends at PT Polyta Global Mandiri, Eroh, Tikroh and Nopi on Friday. They
found that EP’s room was locked from outside and they decided to break into the
room. Jakarta police spokesman Sr. Comr. Awi Setiyono said police investigators
had questioned eight witnesses as part of the investigation into the murder.
