Comparative and Superlatives
A Comparative Adjective is a word that describes a noun by comparing it to another noun. Comparative adjectives typically end in ‘er’ and are followed by the word ‘than’.
-A Superlative Adjective is a word that describes a noun by comparing it to two or more nouns to the highest or lowest degree. Superlative adjectives typically end in ‘est’ and are preceded by the word ‘the’.
- You use as + adjective + as to make negative comparisons
Ex.: Romeo is not as pretty as Juliet = Juliet is prettier than Romeo
