Comparative and superlative of adjectives

We use the comparative and superlative form to compare and contrast different objects in English. The comparative and the superlative form are very similar and follow the same rules for which type of adjectives

to change with 'more' or 'the most', adding 'er' or the ... 'est' and so on. As you learn these forms, make sure to compare each form and note the similarities in

forms and structures.

Use the comparative form to show the difference between two objects.
