Ammu is tall. Job is taller than Ammu. Mohan is the tallest of the three. In the second sentence, the word ‘taller’ is the comparative form of the adjective. The comparative form of the adjective denotes a higher degree of the adjective ‘tall’ when two people or things are compared. In the third sentence, the word ‘tallest’ is the superlative form of the adjective. The superlative form of the adjective denotes the highest degree of the adjective ‘tall’ when more than two people or things are compared. Here are some simple rules to keep in mind when forming comparatives and superlatives.

For most adjectives, ‘er’ is added for the comparative form and ‘est’ for the superlative form. Tall – Taller – Tallest Strong – Stronger – Strongest Short – Shorter – Shorter Kind – Kinder - Kindest

For adjectives ending with ‘e’, ‘r’ is added for the comparative form and ‘st’ for the superlative form. Wise – Wiser – Wisest Large – Larger – Largest Nice – Nicer – Nicest Fine – Finer - Finest

RULE 4
Usually for longer adjectives, ‘more’ + adjective is used for comparative form and ‘most’ + adjective is used for superlative form. Handsome – More Handsome – Most Handsome Beautiful – More Beautiful – Most Beautiful Intelligent – More Intelligent – Most Intelligent Difficult – More Difficult – Most Difficult
