Describing Two Parts of a Pie Chart
Comparatives are used to show the differences between two things.
Superlatives are used to show how one thing is different from two or more things.
For short adjectives, we usually add -er to the word and use than to compare two things.
If the word ends in y, change y to i and add -er or -est.
For the superlative, add -est. Don’t forget the!
Base Word
Comparative Superlative
high
higher The percentage of tourists for Al Ain was higher than for Doha.
the highest Beirut had the highest percentage of tourists.
low
