How to use Adjectives comparison

The comparison of adjectives

Using adjectives to compare things is often done.
Most adjectives have three steps  of comparison, and others have only two.

Adjectives comparison:
Positive, Comparative and Superlative.


Some of the adjectives  uses  different words for both comparative and Superlative  forms.
Below are two example:

Positive                   comparative                      Superlative
Good                             Better                                     Best
Bad                               Worse                                      Worst

e.g:  Sam is a better soccer player then John.
          Tony is the worst soccer player of the team.

They're adjectives that form the Comparative and  Superlative by using more and most.
These words usually have three are more syllables and some has two syllables.
Below is example:

Positive                    Comparative                  Superlative
Perfect                      moreperfect                   most perfect

e.g: Sam is a moreperfect player  than John.
         Tony is the mostperfect player of the team.

They're adjectives that has one syllable. Add "er" to those with one and two syllables to form it's   Comparative and uses
"est" to form their Superlative forms.

Positive                    Comparative                    Superlative
Big                                Bigger                                 Biggest

e.g:  The donkey is Better than the goat.
          The cow is the biggest animal of the farm.

  NB:
Never use more with "er"
Never use most with "est"
Comparative forms are used to compare two things.
