Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

The video tutorial from BBC Learning English covers the use of comparatives and superlatives in English grammar. It explains how to form comparatives by adding 'er' to short adjectives and adverbs, and using 'more' for longer ones. Superlatives are formed by adding 'est' or using 'most'. The tutorial includes examples and a quiz to reinforce learning.
