Notice that the comparative form is used when comparing two things.<br />

For example, are you taller than your teacher? No, my teacher is taller.<br />

Use the superlative form <strong>to</strong> describe the extreme quality of one part<br />

or one member of a whole group. For instance, are you the tallest in<br />

your class? No, Mike is the tallest. He is on the school basketball team.<br />
