You can regularly make three types of comparisons:
- Comparisons of inferiority: where it is mentioned that a noun is inferior in one characteristic than another.
- Comparisons of equality: where it is mentioned that two nouns are equal in a given characteristic.
- Comparisons of superiority: where it is mentioned that a noun is superior to another in a particular characteristic.
