Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Comparative adjectives

We use comparative adjectives to show change or make comparisons. Comparative adjectives are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, or show change:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

For example:

My bike is larger than my little brother’s.

I ran faster than my friend.

Superlative adjectives

A superlative adjective expresses the extreme highest or lowest degree of a quality. Superlative adjectives are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects. We use ‘the’ with superlative adjectives.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

I am the oldest of three sisters.

I am the shortest in my family.
