Here's how it works:
* Positive Degree: Describes a quality without comparison. (e.g., "The cat is big")
* Comparative Degree: Compares the quality of two things. (e.g., "This cat is bigger than that cat.")
* Superlative Degree: Indicates the highest degree of the quality among three or more things. (e.g., "This is the biggest cat in the neighborhood.")
How to form superlative adjectives:
* Short adjectives: Usually add -est (e.g., big - biggest, fast - fastest)
* Longer adjectives: Use most before the adjective (e.g., beautiful - most beautiful, interesting - most interesting)
* Irregular adjectives: Some have unique superlative forms (e.g., good - best, bad - worst, far - farthest/furthest)
Examples of superlative adjectives:
* Tallest building
* Smallest country
* Most delicious cake
* Most expensive car
* Happiest person
