1. Los comparative adjectives se usan para comparar dos personas,

animals, cosas, pases, acciones, grupos, etc. Como en las oraciones en
rojo.
2. Los superlativos en cambio, se usan para comparar a una persona,
animal, cosa, accin, grupo, etc dentro de un grupo o categora. Es decir
que es el mximo nivel de comparacin. Oraciones en color negro.
3. En I is the biggest. Estamos comparando cosas, a I entre G y H.
Biggest es un adjetivo (superlativo) pues califica al sustantivo I.
4. En David runs the fastest. Estamos comparando una accin run
dentro de un grupo (Tom, Pam, and David) que realiza la misma accin.
Al comparar cmo se hace una accin usamos un adverbio para describir
cmo se realiza esta accin, entonces lo que se utiliza es el superlativo de
un adverbio.
5. Recuerden, los adjetivos califican, es decir dan mas informacin sobre los
sustantivos (personas, animales, cosas, etc.). En cambio los adverbios
dan mas informacin sobre los verbos u otras palabras en la oracin. Nos
dicen cmo una persona realiza la accin descrita en el verbo.
