Understanding comparatives and superlatives is essential for describing and comparing different sizes in English. In this video, we focus on how to use these forms to discuss height and length effectively. Learn how to form sentences with size-related words to communicate more accurately.

We start with the word "Tall". When comparing two objects or people, you use the comparative form "taller". For example, "John is taller than Mary". To describe the one with the greatest height among several, use the superlative form "the tallest". For instance, "Of all the buildings, this is the tallest".

To identify the smallest height within a group, use the superlative form "the shortest". For example, "She is the shortest student in the class".
