When comparing two things, you’re likely to use adjectives like smaller, bigger, taller, more interesting, and less expensive.When comparing more than two things, you’ll likely use words and phrases like smallest, biggest, tallest, most interesting, and least interesting. Notice the ‑est ending and the words most and least.
3Notice the ‑er ending, and the words more and less. A mistake that both native speakers and non-native speakers make is using incorrectly formed comparative adjectives. See the sentences below for an illustration of this common error:Make sure you use the proper ending or superlative adjective when forming these superlatives.

Correct: Martha is the eldest of the four sisters.
