I don't understand superlative and comparative forms of an adverb. Could anyone help me?

Comparative is when you compare what is better than another.
Superlative is which one is the best than the rest.

-The comparative form is used when you compare 2 people or things. For one syllable or 2 adverbs, you add "-er" to the adverb. And for the others, you add "more".
Example: I am taller than you. (The adverb is tall, we added -er).
I am more beautiful than you (we added "more")
-The superlative form is used when you're comparing 1 person with 2 or more other persons, or 1 thing with 2 or more things. Same thing as the comparative, but it's -est instead of -er, and "most" instead of "more":
Example: I am the tallest of you all (or simply I am the tallest)
I am the most beautiful

Hope this Helps! :)
