Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Comparative and Superlative AdjectivesA comparative adjective is used to compare two things. A superlative adjective is used when you compare three or more things.looking at apples you can compare their size, determining which is big, which is bigger, and which is biggest.

The comparative ending (suffix) for short, common adjectives is generally "-er"; the superlative suffix is generally "-est."

For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable).
