<p></p><h3>COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES</h3><p>Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (<em>larger, smaller, faster, higher</em>). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:</p><div><h5>EXAMPLES</h5><ul><li>My house is&nbsp;<strong>larger</strong>&nbsp;than hers.</li><li>This box is&nbsp;<strong>smaller</strong>&nbsp;than the one I lost.</li><li>Your dog runs&nbsp;<strong>faster</strong>&nbsp;than Jim's dog.</li><li>The rock flew&nbsp;<strong>higher</strong>&nbsp;than the roof.</li><li>Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack&nbsp;<strong>better</strong>. ("than Jim" is understood)</li></ul></div><h3>SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES</h3><p>Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (<em>the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest</em>). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.</p><div><h5>EXAMPLES</h5><ul><li>My house is the&nbsp;<strong>largest</strong>&nbsp;one in our neighborhood.</li><li>This is the&nbsp;<strong>smallest</strong>&nbsp;box I've ever seen.</li><li>Your dog ran the&nbsp;<strong>fastest</strong>&nbsp;of any dog in the race.</li><li>We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the&nbsp;<strong>highest</strong>. ("of all the rocks" is understood)</li></ul></div><h3></h3><img src="@@PLUGINFILE@@/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" role="presentation" class="img-responsive atto_image_button_text-bottom"><br><p></p>
