    Adjectives can be used in comparative or superlative form. The comparative form compares two items and uses suffixes like "-er" or "more". The superlative form compares an item to a group and uses "the" plus the adjective with the suffix "-est". Examples are given of sentences using adjectives in the comparative form with "than", and in the superlative form referring to the largest, smallest, fastest, or most expensive among a group.
