Notes

Comparative forms are used before than. Superlative forms are always preceded by the.

When a comparison is made between two people or things we use the comparative adjective, and not the superlative adjective.

Take the shorter of the two routes. (NOT Take the shortest of the two routes.)
She is the prettier of the two sisters.

Note that this rule is not always followed and some people do use the superlative form.
