Adjectives come in three forms: regular, comparative, and superlative. The comparative form is used to compare two nouns. The superlative form is used when comparing more than two nouns. Generally the comparative form of an adjective is formed by adding -er to the regular adjective and the superlative is formed by adding -est to the regular adjectives. With some adjectives you must use "more" for the comparative instead of adding -er and "most" for the superlative instead of adding -est.
