How to form comparative and superlative adjectives
The comparative form of an adjective is used for comparing two people or things (e.g. he is taller than I), while the superlative is used for comparing one person or thing with every other member of their group (e.g. he was the tallest boy in the class).
Adjectives make their comparative and superlative forms in different ways, depending on the base adjective itself. Here’s a quick-reference guide to the spelling of comparative and superlative adjectives:
