Question

Explain the difference between the superlative and comparative degree

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects. For example: larger, smaller, faster, higher. They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality. For example: the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest. They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

Answer 2

Answer:

We use the comparative to compare one person, thing, action, event or group with another person, thing etc. We use the superlative to compare somebody/something with the whole group that she/he/it belongs to.
