This document provides information on comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that comparatives are used to compare two or more objects or people, and are formed by adding "-er" to adjectives of one syllable or "more" to adjectives of two or more syllables. Superlatives show the maximum or minimum degree and are formed by adding "-est" or using "the most". Examples of comparative and superlative forms are given for different adjective types. Exercises are included for students to practice forming comparatives and superlatives.
