We have studied that adjectives describe the nouns, but they can also be used to compare two different nouns. This phenomenon is what we call "comparisons". The only time we see changes in the adjectives' form, is with the comparisons. Let's learn the four types of comparisons.
 
==> Equality.: The two nouns that we are comparing, share the characteristic the adjective is describing at the same level. There is no difference between the nouns in that compared aspect. For this comparison we use the structure "as + adjective + as". E.g.:
I can learn English as fast as Tim. (Puedo aprender inglés tan rápido como Tim)
 
In this example both Tim and I possess the characteristic of being able to learn English fast.
 
==> Comparatives.: In this case one noun possesses the compared characteristic in a higher level than the other noun. For this type of comparative we use the structure "adjective + er + than". If the adjective we are comparing has two or more syllables we use "more + adjective + than". E.g.:
My computer is faster than yours. (Mi ordenador es más rápido que el tuyo)
 
My computer is more reliable than yours. (Mi ordenador es más fiable que el tuyo)
 
==> Inferiority.: It is the opposite type of comparison of the above explained. One noun has the characteristic the adjective describes in a lower level than the other noun. We use the structure "less + adjective + than". E.g.:
My computer is less reliable than yours. (Mi ordenador es menos fiable que el tuyo) This type of comparison is less frequently used.
 
==> Superlative.: The noun we are describing and comparing possesses a quality in the highest level or in the lowest level. We use the structure: "the + adjective + est". If the adjective has two or more syllables we use instead "the most + adjective" to express the highest level and "the least + adjective" to describe the lowest level. Eg:
My computer is the fastest . (Mi ordenador es el más rápido)
