Answer:
1. COMPARATIVE

Comparative is used to express a comparison between two things. For example the
comparison of two people who are considered smart. To use the comparative, the
following rwo formulas must be used.
~ subject 1 + to be + adjective ( er ) + than + subject 2
~ subject + to be + more adjective + that + subject 2

SUPERLATIVE

Superlative is used to express the most striking thing compared to the whole. Here
are the formulas
~subject + to be +the abjective ( est )
~ subject + to be + the most adjective

2. -We usually add –er and –est to one-syllable words to make comparatives and
superlatives:

old /Older /Oldest

long /longer /longest

-If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r or –st:

nice /nicer /nicest

large /larger /largest

-If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant:

big /bigger /biggest

fat /fatter /fattest

- If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i and add –er or –est:

happy /happier /happiest

silly /sillier /silliest

- We use more and most to make comparatives and superlatives for most two
syllable adjectives and for all adjectives with three or more syllables:

Careful /more careful /most careful

 interesting /more interesting /most interesting
- However, with these common two-syllable adjectives, you can either add –er/–r
and –est/–st or use more and most:

 Common
 cruel
 gentle
 handsome
 likely
 pleasant
 polite
 simple
 stupid
 narrow

ex: He is certainly handsomer than his brother.

His brother is handsome, but he is more handsome.

She is one of the politest people I have ever met.

She is the most polite person I have ever met.

-The adjectives good, bad and far have irregular comparatives and superlatives:

good /better /best

bad /worse /worst

far farther/further farthest/furthest
