Comparative and superlative adjectives from "summary" of The parts of speech. Section I. A, Nouns, adjectives and articles. B, Pronouns and numerals. Section II, The verb and the particles by Hendrik Poutsma
Comparative and superlative adjectives are used to compare two or more things, people, or qualities. Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things, while superlative adjectives are used to compare three or more things. Comparative adjectives are formed by adding -er to the end of the adjective, or by using the words "more" or "less" before the adjective. For example, "bigger" is the comparative form of "big", and "more beautiful" is the comparative form of "beautiful".
Superlative adjectives are formed by adding -est to the end of the adjective, or by using the words "most" or "least" before the adjective. For example, "biggest" is the superlative form of "big", and "most beautiful" is the superlative form of "beautiful".
When comparing two things, the comparative form is used. For example, "This book is more interesting than that one." When comparing three or more things, the superlative form is used. For example, "She is the most talented singer in the group."
It is important to use comparative and superlative adjectives correctly in order to make clear and accurate comparisons. By understanding the rules for forming comparative and superlative adjectives, you can effectively communicate comparisons in your writing and speech.
