Adjectives#degrees#comparision

HELLO FRIENDS!!
Welcome to my page "SIMPLY GRAMMATICAL"

We were just discussing the unrestricted and restricted Superlative degree of Adjectives .To make the concept more vivid let me give an example of a competition .Suppose Giyan participates in a wrestling match and wins it we can say that "Giyan is the winner (the means 'the only') of the wrestling tournament"
But suppose there is a tie with another player in the final round and the judges decide to give them both a first prize ,you can then say "Giyan is one of the winners of the wrestling tournament."Here please note that the common noun winner is in its plural form.In the above conditions if you have to compare Giyan's wrestling 🎿 skills with those of other contenders in the tournament then it would be this:
Case1:"Giyan was  the best wrestler of the tournament."
Case 2:"Giyan was one of the best wrestlers of the tournament."
Case 1 is an example of UNRESTRICTED SUPERLATIVE DEGREE OF ADJECTIVE 'Good' at the same time case 2 is an example of RESTRICTED SUPERLATIVE DEGREE OF ADJECTIVE'GOOD'
