The document discusses different ways to make comparisons in English including using 'same as', 'similar to', 'different from', 'like', 'alike' as well as comparative and superlative forms.

Some ways to make comparisons discussed include using 'same as', 'similar to', 'different from', 'like', 'alike' as well as comparative forms with '-er' and '-est' and irregular forms.

Comparative forms are made by adding '-er' and using 'more' with adjectives and adverbs. Superlative forms are made by adding '-est' and using 'most' with adjectives and adverbs. Irregular forms are also used for some adverbs.
