A comparative adjective is an adjective that expresses a comparison of qualities between two elements.
EXAMPLES
USE
We use a superlative to say that a thing or a person is the largest part of a group. When we use a superlative adjective ('the tallest student') before the noun, we usually use it with 'the'. This is because there is only one (or a group) that we are talking about. ... John and Lisa are the smartest students here.
RULES
These tasks are still important but they're not urgent so you can schedule a time to do them.
Two-syllable adjectives ending in –er, –le, or –ow take –est to form the superlative forms.
If the two-syllable adjectives ends with –y, change the y to i and add –est for the superlative form
If the one-syllable adjective ends with an e, just add –st for the superlative form.
