Comparatives and superlatives are used to compare two or more objects. For comparatives, the suffixes -er or -ier are added to one-syllable or two-syllable adjectives respectively to indicate something is more of an adjective quality. For superlatives, the suffixes -est or -iest are used with one-syllable or two-syllable adjectives respectively to indicate something has the most of an adjective quality. There are exceptions for adjectives ending in y, consonant-vowel-consonant combinations, and words like good/bad. When comparing, always use "than" and when using superlatives, always precede with "the".Breadth of vocabulary and advanced english study: empirical research
