- Comparative degree β Used to compare two things.
- Superlative degree β Used to compare more than two things.

- Better (Comparative) β This book is better than that one. π > π
- Best (Superlative) β This is the best book of all. ππ
π‘ Tip: βBetterβ is used when comparing two things. βBestβ is used when comparing three or more.
