    Comparative adjectives are used to compare the characteristics of two or more things or people, indicating whether one thing has more or less of a quality than another. There are regular forms using "-er" or "more" and "less" for short and long adjectives respectively. Some adjectives like "good", "bad", and "far" are irregular in their comparative and superlative forms. Superlatives indicate the highest or lowest degree of a quality.

    Comparative

    adjectives

    When talking about the characteristics of two


    things or people we can
    compare them.

    We use comparative adjectives to say which


    similarities or differences both objects or people
    may have.

    IMPORTANT!

    KEEP IN MIND
    We need to distinguish between:

    Comparative --> compare


    elements

    Superlative --> When we talk


    about the maximum o minimum of
    something.

    There are some irregulars that


    we must learn.
