            Adjectives are modified to compare differences between nouns. Comparative adjectives (e.g., taller, more beautiful) compare two things, often using "than," while superlative adjectives (e.g., tallest, most beautiful) identify the extreme within a group of three or more, typically preceded by "the". Rules depend on syllable count and spelling, alongside common irregular forms.
