Today I reviewed something about how to use comparatives and superlatives with care. In English, there are three different forms of most adjectives and adverbs, for example, high(the positive), higher(the comparative), and highest(the superlative). Usually, we use use the comparative to compare two thing, and use the superlative to compare things which over two.
e.g.
1) I think this text book is more useful than the old one which we have used before.
"more useful" is a comparative, we use it here because we compare two different text book here.
2) He is the most naughty boy in the kindergarten.
"most naughty" is a superlative, we use it here because we compare many boys that over two in the kindergarden.
