    The document discusses the use of comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that comparatives are formed by adding "-er" or being irregular for one-syllable adjectives, and adding "-r" and changing the final letter for two-syllable adjectives. Superlatives are formed by adding "-est" or being irregular, and are used to compare something to the most extreme degree within a group. Examples are provided to demonstrate their use in comparing heights, ages, weights and other characteristics between individuals or groups.
