 Comparatives and Superlatives are
special forms of adjectives. They are used
to compare two or more things.

Generally,
comparatives are formed using -er and
superlatives are formed using -est.
 USE OF COMPARATIVES

Comparatives are used to compare two things. You

can use sentences with “than”, or you can use a
conjunction like “but”.

a) Michael is taller than John. john

b) John is tall, but Michael is taller

 USE OF SUPERLATIVES
Superlatives are used to compare more than two
things. Superlative sentences usually use “the”,
because there is only one superlative.

b) John is short, and Michael is shorter, but Bryan is

the shortest.
