120 Rules of Grammer
RULE 08: Certain cases of comparisons :
Examples:-
(I) Gold is more precious than all
metals. [Incorrect] ❌
🔴 “Gold” is itself a metal and
is being compared with all metals which include even gold as a metal. Thus, at a point of time, the meaning of the sentence becomes
– “Gold is more precious than gold”, which makes the sentence wrong.
(II) Gold is more precious than any
other metals. [Correct] ✅
🟢 Gold is compared with any other metals, which means gold is precious than any metal other than gold. This makes the statement meaningful and logical.
(III) Diamond is more precious than
all metals. ✅
🟣 Diamond being a non-metal is compared to all metals. This makes the statement is correct.
