To compare, we identify characteristics that could be similar or different from one
person, object or place to another. We use
positive adjectives
to indicate simple
quality of people, objects and places without comparison or relation to increase
or diminution. We use the
comparative adjectives
for
comparing two things and the superlative adjectives
for comparing three or more things. A
superlative
is a
grammatical descriptor that implies something
surpasses
everything else.
Surpasses:
exceeds or beats.
