What is an adjective
An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun — its size, colour, shape and so on. For example: a tall boy, a red flower.
Comparing two
To compare two things we often add -er to the adjective. ‘Ravi is taller than Sam.’ (tall → taller, big → bigger)
Comparing many
To compare many things we often add -est. ‘This is the tallest tree of all.’ (tall → tallest, big → biggest)
