Aussi… que says as… as: Je suis aussi grand que mon frère. The superlative adds le/la/les: le plus grand — the biggest.
One irregular worth its fame: bon (good) becomes meilleur (better) and le meilleur (the best) — never plus bon.
bon becomes meilleur, never plus bon: ce gâteau est meilleur. The superlative is le meilleur, la meilleure.
