Superlative adjectives

Syllabus topic 29: Superlative adjectives

Superlative adjectives. Use the superlative to compare one member with a whole group: the -est or the most + adjective.

How it works

Use the superlative to compare one member with a whole group: the -est or the most + adjective. Good becomes best and bad becomes worst. Use in with places and groups, and of with a plural set such as of all the books.

Examples in context

Notice how each form fits its sentence. Read the context before choosing a form.

  • This is the tallest building in town.
  • It is the most interesting book here.
  • She is the best player in the team.
  • This is the smallest room in the house.
  • Today is the worst day of my holiday.
