The comparative form is used to compare two people, ideas, or things. The superlative form with the word "the" is used to compare three or more. Comparatives and superlatives are often used in writing to hedge or boost language.
Two-syllable adjectives can form the comparative by adding -er or preceding the adjective with more. These adjectives form the superlative by adding -est or preceding the adjective with most. In many cases, both ways are used, although one use will be more common than the other.
