Comparison
We can use comparative adjectives and adverbs to compare two things, situations, times, actions, etc., usually with than. We can change the degree of comparison with words like a lot, much, far, even, slightly, a bit, a little: Life's a lot more interesting than before. She's a bit happier than she used to be.
He's speaking much more slowly than usual today.

Comparison
The opposite of more is less. We can use it with all adjectives and adverbs:
The car's slightly less clean than it was.
I drive less quickly than he does. as + adjective/adverb + as shows that two things are equal; not as... as means less than: They're as wealthy as the royal family. She doesn't listen as carefully as she should.

You're just as pretty as your sister! (= exactly equal) My brother isn't nearly as hard-working as me.
(= very different)

Extremes
We use superlative adjectives and adverbs to talk about extremes:It's the worst hotel in the world!
I got the lowest score possible. We often use the present perfect with ever with superlatives:
This is the best meal I've ever eaten.
It was the least interesting film I've ever seen. We can use the expressions by far and easily to say an extreme is very different from all others:
That's by far the highest mountain I've ever climbed.
