Remember
As we have seen, adjectives describe qualities of nouns. These may vary in
degree or intensity. For example: we use comparative adjectives to mark
differences between two objects: “Being sad is not good but being furious

is worse.”
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper
or lower limit of a quality, compared to a group of objects: “I’ve heard it in
the chilliest land.”
