E. LET'S LEARN GRAMMAR
The Blind Beggar Question Answer (Class-5)
Adjectives are words that qualify, describe or modify another noun or a pronoun in the sentence; as good, big, easy, white, tall, high, fine, beautiful, new, clean, cheap, hot, etc.
Generally, the adjectives come before the nouns. Sometimes the nouns may come before the adjectives; e.g.,
Amit is wearing a blue shirt.
The sky is blue.
I want to drink a cup of hot tca.
The tea is hot.
Adjectives can express degrees of modification
Anita is a rich woman, but Sunita is richer than Anita, and Gita is the richest woman in town.
The degrees of comparison are known as the positive, the comparative and the superlative. (Actually, only the comparative and the superlative show degrees.) We use the comparative for comparing two things and the superlative for comparing three or more things.
The comparative form of an adjective is generally followed by than and the word the precedes the superlative.
(1) Comparison with -er!-est:
The comparative form is generally made by adding -er and the superlative form is made by adding -est to the positive form. Some adjectives take -ier and -iest to form comparatives and superlatives; e.g.,
| old | older | oldest | |
| dark | darker | darkest | |
| new | newer | newest. | |
| grate | greater | greatest | |
| young | younger | youngest | |
| fast | faster | fastest | |
(2) Comparison with more/most
All adjectives with more than two syllables (except some adjectives with two syllables).
| Beautiful | more beautiful | most beautiful |
| Dangerous | more dangerous | most dangerous |
| Harmful | more harmful | most harmful |
| Obedient | more obedient | most obedient |
| Interesting | more interesting | most interesting |
| Useful | more useful | most useful |
(3) Irregular adjectives
| good | better | best |
| bad | worse | worst |
| much | more | most ( uncountable nouns) |
| many | more | most (countable nouns) |
| little | less | least |
| small | smaller | smallest |
E.1. Put in the adjective in bold from the first sentence into the second sentence in its correct form (comparative or superlative). One has been done for you.

Answer -
The beggar is the most pitiable creature on this earth. He has no land of his own. He has no house to live in. His life is full of miseries. He earns his living by begging for alms. He lives in slums or under the sky. He wears ragged clothes. He survives on the alms given by others. People look down upon him. When he cries for alms frequently, he becomes a source of nuisance. The government should pay attention seriously for the rehabilitation of the beggars. They should get shelter and a good source of income for their survival.
