SUPERLATIVE FORM( ADJECTIVIES)
We use the superlative form of adjectives to
compare more than two things.
To make the superlative form of short
adjectives, we add est:
the + short adjective+ -est:
the nicest bag.
For long adjectives, we add the most before
the adjective: the most original coat.
Superlative adjectives are preceded by the
word the.
