When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "What do you think is more difficult: tactics or strategy?"

Note that while "tactics" and "strategy" are sometimes used synonymously, this is not accurate. "Tactics" refers to specific techniques used to deal with situations or techniques, while "strategy" refers to the overall plan for dealing with a situation. "Tactics" deal with minutiae, while "strategies" deal with large-scale plans and concepts.

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things (or an indefinite number of things), you must use the superlative construction instead. In this case, no other item is named, so we can assume that "fried chicken" is being compared to all other food options, in terms of healthiness. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "but it certainly isn't the healthiest thing to eat."

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, you must use the superlative construction instead. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "that Nicki is the better artist."

Note that the introduction of one other item directly affects the grammar of the rest of the sentence. It would be perfectly grammatically correct to say, "In my heart of hearts I know that Nicki is the best artist." But, once an introductory clause has been used that discussed Nicki in conjunction with "Taylor Swift" a comparative structure becomes necessary.

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. Since the group of enemies is described as a "gallery" we know that there are many, certainly more than two, enemies to which the "Humorous Prankster" is being compared. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "the Joker is by far the most dangerous."

When you are comparing one thing to only one other thing, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. Superlatives distinguish one item from many others in one particular aspect. Comparatives directly compare one item to only one other item. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "but Richard is more honorable than him."

Note that since the second clause provides information that contradicts the sentiment of the first clause "but" rather than "or" is the correct conjunction.

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is: "Chicago is a more beautiful city,"

Since the two clauses are connected into a compound sentence with a comma and a coordinating conjunction, the comparison between Chicago and New York is grammatically necessary. Note that it is incorrect to follow a semicolon with a coordinating conjunction.

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. In this instance only "Barry" and "John" were mentioned as items of comparison, so the comparative, rather than the superlative construction is required. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is, "I hate dealing with Barry, because he is more difficult to deal with than John."

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. The phrase "Of all" is usually a very reliable indicator that a superlative construction will be needed, if you wish to distinguish one particular item from that group. The best way to correct the underlined portion above is, "Of all her offspring, Romeo made Lady Montague the proudest."

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead. In this case, the superlative construction is needed (as it usually is when the phrase "of all" makes an appearance), so the best way to correct the underlined portion above is, "I have the hardest time playing tennis,"

When you are comparing only two things, you must use the comparative construction of the adjective or adverb in question. When you are comparing three or more things, or an indefinite number of things, you must use the superlative construction instead.

The best way to correct the underlined portion above is, "Of all the eligible candidates, Paulus would make the best emperor."
