Comparative & Superlative Adjectives and Examples! Adjectives are the words that describe something. Those are used to describe a noun’s and pronoun’s quality. When comparing the qualities of two things, comparative adjectives are utilized. When describing the properties of three or more things, superlative adjectives are employed. Comparative adjectives distinguish between two objects, people, places, or things (nouns). Superlative adjectives, on the other hand, qualify or select the object from three or more options.
