The document discusses comparative adjectives, which are used to compare differences between two things. It explains that comparative adjectives are formed by changing the base adjective using certain rules, such as adding "-er" for single-syllable adjectives or "more" for multi-syllable adjectives. There are also irregular adjectives that do not follow these rules. The document provides examples of changing base adjectives into their comparative form and allows the reader to practice forming comparatives.
