Gigantic clouds of gas and dust left behind by old, massive stars slowly compress into potential new stars.

Large stars are formed in stellar nebulae like small stars; they just require extra mass.

Towards the end of their lives many stars turn into giants or even supergiants.

That depends on the initial mass of the stars and on the progress of the nuclear fusion reactions in the stars.

What are different sizes or stars?

Stars can be classified into different sizes based on their mass and luminosity. The most common sizes are dwarf stars (like our Sun), giant stars (larger and more luminous than the Sun), and supergiant stars (the largest and most luminous stars, like Betelgeuse and Rigel). There are also intermediate sizes like subgiant stars.
