In English, adjectives have different forms for comparing objects or qualities. The comparative form (e.g., "lighter", "nicer") is used to compare two things, while the superlative form (e.g., "tallest", "best") is used to compare one thing against all others in the same category. Some adjectives require "more" or "most" to form their comparative and superlative forms, especially if they are longer words (like "beautiful" becomes "more beautiful" or "most beautiful").
