COMPARATIVES

Comparatives are used to compare two things. You can use sentences with “than”, or you can use a conjunction like “but”. 

Example:

   -Bart is taller than Lisa.

   -Lisa is tall, but Bart is taller.

SUPERLATIVES

Superlatives are used to compare more than two things. Superlative sentences usually use “the”, because there is only one superlative.

Example:

  - Bart is the tallest in the class.  -Maggie is tall, and Lisa is taller, but Bart is the tallest.
