The rules of comparisons in English

The first thing you need to be clear about is that in English adjectives have three different forms or
degrees: positive, comparative and superlative.

Positive: the quality in its simplest degree. Fast, tall, strong…

Comparative: quality in one degree higher than another. Faster, taller, stronger... There are also
other grammatical forms to make comparisons of equality and inferiority (which we explain
below).

Superlative: quality in a degree superior to all others. The fastest, the tallest, the strongest... It is
very important to remember that we always have to use the definite article the.

Simple truth? Let's see what the three types of comparison are:

Of superiority: adjective in comparative form + than. For example: Maria runs faster than Mario.

Of equality: as + adjective in positive degree + as. Example: I am as tall as Berta.

Of inferiority: not as + adjective in a positive degree + as or less + adjective in a positive degree +

than. Examples: Mario is not as fast as Maria, Marta's room is less clean than Angela's

And finally, you have to remember that there are a series of rules for forming comparative and
superlative adjectives, depending on their number of syllables. In this article we explain it to you in
more detail.
 Comparatives and superlatives
Comparatives in English

There are several ways to compare two elements in English, but

the most common is the comparative, that is, "more than." It consists of modifying an adjective.
Depending on the adjective, it can be formed in several ways:

If it is a one-syllable adjective, we add "-er" at the end.

Big — bigger: the polar bear is bigger than the brown bear.

If it is a two-syllable adjective ending in "-y", we change the last letter to "-i" and add "-er" at the
end.

Friendly — friendlier: my son is friendlier than my daughter.

If it is a two-syllable adjective ending in any other letter, we combine it with "more."

Useful — more useful: this device is more useful than those.

Although there are exceptions that are formed with "-er" at the end.

Narrow — narrower: the main street is narrower than the boulevard.

Clever — cleverer: donkeys are cleverer than horses.

If it is an adjective with three or more syllables, we combine it with "more."

Beautiful — more beautiful: the countryside is more beautiful than the city.

Superlatives in English

When we want to express that an element has a characteristic to a greater extent than the rest,
we use the superlative. It follows the same structure as the comparative, only with "-est":

Big — the biggest: the blue whale is the biggest mammal on Earth.

Friendly — the friendliest: she’s the friendliest member of her family.

Useful — the most useful: this device is the most useful thing I own.

Narrow — the narrowest: this street is the narrowest in the city.

Clever — the cleverest: he’s the cleverest student in the class.

Beautiful — the most beautiful: this city is the most beautiful in Europe.
