Comparative and superlative forms

Formas comparativas y superlativas

By now you should know what an adjective is: words like tall, big or intelligent. These words can have what grammarians name degrees of modification. The degrees of modification can be the positive the comparative  and the superlative forms. In fact only comparative and superlatives show these degrees in practice			A esta altura ya deberías saber lo que es un adjetivo: palabras como alto, grande o inteligente. Estas palabras pueden experimentar lo que los gramáticos llaman grados de modificación. Los grados de modificación son el positivo, el comparativo y el superlativo. (En realidad solo el comparativo o el superlativo manifiestan modificaciones)
We use the comparative degree for comparing two things and the superlative for comparing three or more things. Take a look at the example below...Then we will introduce you to the rules of formation of comparatives and superlatives			Utilizaremos el grado comparativo para comparar dos cosas y el grado superlativo para comparar tres o más cosas.
