Comparativo es cuando utilizas el than y estas comparando (valga la redundancia) dos cosas. El superlativo lo utilizas cuando estas diciendo que una cosa es lo mejor con respecto a las demás (en su categoría, en su defecto las demas cosas con la que la estas comparando)
Explicación:
1. One syllable adjectives generally form the comparative by adding -er and the superlative by adding -est, e.g.
Note that if a one-syllable adjective ends in a single vowel letter followed by a single consonant letter, the consonant letter is doubled, e.g. thin - thinner/thinnest, big - bigger/biggest.
If an adjective ends in -e, this is removed when adding -er/-est, e.g. wide - wider/widest.
If an adjective ends in a consonant followed by -y, -yis replaced by -iwhen adding -er/-est, e.g. dry - drier/driest.
2. More and most are sometimes used with one-syllable adjectives as an alternative to the -er/-est form when we particularly want to emphasize the comparison, or if the adjective occurs with another adjective which has more than one syllable, e.g.
3. Two-syllable adjectives which end in -y usually form the comparative by adding -er and the superlative by adding -est, (note the change of -y to-i in the comparative/superlative).
4. Two-syllable adjectives ending in -ed, -ing, -ful, or -less always form the comparative with more and the superlative with most.
5. Adjectives which have three or more syllables always form the comparative and superlative with more and most.
The only exceptions are some three-syllable adjectives which have been formed by adding the prefix un- to another adjective, especially those formed from an adjective ending in-y. These adjectives can form comparatives and superlatives by using more/most or adding -er/-est.
