ABSTRACT
Young writers love superheroes, right? Do they love them more than American Girl dolls? What do they love the most about them? When you talk about relationships between people, places, and things, you often call on a comparative or superlative adjective to tell you the degree to which the things are related to each other. If you’re talking about one thing, you decide if it’s good or bad (adjective). If you’re comparing two things, you’re deciding which one is better or worse (comparative adjective). If you’re comparing everything or everyone, you want to know who or what is the best or worst (superlative adjective). Writers don’t use both the comparative and the superlative forms at the same time, though, nor do they use a suffix (comparative -er, superlative -est) with more or most.
