Comparative and Superlative:

1.When we compare two people or things or animals


then we use –er at the end of the adjective and then the
word than.  The green bag is bigger than the blue bag.
2.BUT!!!! When we have big words like the word:
beautiful , interesting , boring …. Then we DON’T add –
er. We add the word more before the adjective and then
the word than.  Helen is more beautiful than Maria.
Now…… 3. When we talk about more than 2 things,
people or animals, and the word is small then we add
-est  tigers are the fastest animals in the world.

animals, and the word is big, like intelligent I add
