Det är viktigt att känna till de grundläggande reglerna för hur man bildar komparativ och superlativ. Komparativ används när man jämför två saker med varandra och bildas oftast genom att lägga till suffixet -er, eller genom att använda ordet ”more” före adjektivet eller adverbet. Superlativ används när man beskriver något som är mest eller minst i en grupp av tre eller fler, och bildas vanligtvis genom att lägga till suffixet -est eller genom att placera ”the most” eller ”the least” före adjektivet eller adverbet.
