To understand comparative and superlative adjectives, you first need to know what adjectives themselves are. An adjective is simply a word that describes a noun—people, places, or things. For example:
Comparative adjectives are used when you want to describe the difference between two things. Think of them as adjectives with a little extra spice—they compare two nouns. Here’s how it works:
Thing 1 + is/are + comparative adjective + than + Thing 2
