Degree of Adjectives- এর মাধ্যমে Sentence এর Transformation করা যায়। প্রথমে আমরা উবমৎবব সম্পর্কে একটু ধারনা নেই।
Degree তিন প্রকার যথাঃ
(i) Positive
(ii) Comparative
(iii) Suparlative
(1) Positive Degree: কাহারো সাথে তুলনা করা বুঝায় না। Adjective এবং Possitive এর রুপ বসে।
যেমনঃ He is a good boy.
(2) Comparative Degree: দুইয়ের মধ্যে তুলনা বুঝায়। Adjective এর Comparative এর রুপ বসে। Adjective এর Comparative এর পরে Than ব্যবহার করতে হয়।
যেমনঃ He is better than Anis.
(3) Superlative Degree: দুইয়ের অধিকের সাথে তুলনা বুঝায়। Adjective এর Superlative এর রুপ বসে। ঝঁঢ়বৎষধঃরাব এর রুপের পূর্বে ঞযব ব্যবহার করতে হয়।
যেমনঃ ঐব রং ঃযব নবংঃ নড়ু রহ ঃযব পষধংং
এক ঝুষষধনষব (এক করে উচ্চারিত হয় এমন অফলবপঃরাব) বিশিষ্ট অফলবপঃরাব এর সাথে বৎ যোগ করে ঈড়সঢ়ধৎধঃরাব এবং বংঃ যোগ করে ঝঁঢ়বৎষধঃরাব করতে হয়। যেমনঃ
