This document discusses the different forms and uses of adjectives in English: 1) Positive adjectives describe nouns without comparison (e.g. "The book is old"). 2) Comparative adjectives compare two things and use "-er" or "more" (e.g. "Fred is taller than Barney"). 3) Superlative adjectives indicate the highest degree when comparing three or more things and use "-est" or "most" (e.g. "This is the brightest room in the house").
