The comparative case is a form of words, often adverbs and adjectives, that indicate a comparison between two items or people. It’s commonly indicated by the “-er” suffix, and the superlative form is indicated by “-est” or “most/least”.
The comparative case is typically a form that words, often adverbs and adjectives, may take that indicate a comparison of one item or person with another. In a sentence like “I am faster than him”, the word “faster” is an adverb in the comparative form, as it indicates a comparison between the subject and the object. This is commonly indicated by the suffix “-er”, although other words can be used to indicate a comparative case such as “more” or “less”. The “-est” suffix and words such as “most” or “least” can be used to indicate the superlative form of a word, indicating a comparison in which an object has the most or least quantity of a certain quality.
Also called the comparative form or grade, the comparative case of an adverb or adjective is typically used to indicate a comparison between two phrases or words in a sentence. This is commonly found as a comparison between the subject and an object in a sentence, although multiple objects can also be compared. In a sentence like “I saw her throw the ball farther than him,” the word “further” is in the comparative case. “I” is the subject and “saw” is the predicate of the sentence indicating the action taken by the subject, while “far” describes the action performed by the two people who are compared.
There are several ways you can indicate the comparative case for a word, although most regular adverbs can be modified with the “-er” suffix. Adverbs like “fast” and “slow” can be compared by modifying “faster” and “slower”. This is also true of many regular adjectives, such as the words “tall” and “happy” as comparatives in the forms “taller” and “happier.” These words in the comparative case simply indicate that one item has more of a certain quality than another, which can be either a positive or a negative concept depending on the base word. Words like “more” and “less” can also be used to indicate a comparative such as “she ran faster than her dog” or “she is less forgiving than her sister than her”.
The comparative case is similar to the superlative case in English, which is used to indicate that an item has the most or least of a certain quality compared to all other things. In the sentence “I am the happiest man alive”, the word “happiest” is an adjective in the superlative form. It’s still a comparison, but rather than comparing one thing to another, it’s saying that the subject has as much of that quality as possible. “He’s the fastest cat” means that the cat is faster than all other cats, while “faster” is more commonly used to compare one cat to another.
