  6. 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.

  7. 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. b) John is tall, but Michael is taller. Michael John

  8. USE OF SUPERLATIVES Superlatives are used to compare more than two things. Superlative sentences usually use “the”, because there is only one superlative. a) Bryan is the tallest in the class. b) John is tall, and Michael is taller, but Bryan is the tallest. Bryan Michael John
