Comparatives Vs Superlatives
What Are Comparatives and Superlatives? (Quick Recap)
Comparatives are used to compare two things, showing a difference in degree or quality (e.g., bigger, more interesting).
Superlatives, on the other hand, highlight the highest degree of a quality within a group (e.g., biggest, most interesting).
Comparatives often use -er or “more,” while superlatives use -est or “most.”
Both forms help describe and compare effectively in English.
| Type | Form | Example | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comparative | -er or “more” | bigger, more beautiful | Compare two items or people. |
| Superlative | -est or “most” | biggest, most beautiful | Highlight the highest degree. |
| Irregular | unique forms | better/worse, best/worst | Follow specific rules. |
| Equality | “as…as” | as tall as, as interesting as | Show no difference between two. |
