Adjective Degrees - explicação

We use the comparative to show the difference between two people, things or groups.                "Spain is bigger than Portugal." We use the superlative to compare three or more people, things or groups, to show which of them has "the most" of some quality.                 "Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. We normally use "than" with comparative adjectives and "the" with superlative adjectives.                "Mark is taller than Steve."                "Jack is the tallest boy in my class."
