What are superlative adjectives?
Superlative adjectives are used to distinguish objects or nouns, if there are three or more things which are being compared. Specifically, they’re used to distinguish the highest degree of a noun. For example, the following sentence contains a superlative adjective: The last house is the largest. The word “largest” in this sentence is the superlative adjective. We can do another example: The cherry pie tastes the best. The word “best” in this sentence is the superlative adjective. You can distinguish a superlative adjective by the adjectives that end in “est.” However, superlative adjectives might also be distinguished by the words “most” or “least.” For example, consider the following sentence: The lamp was the most expensive item in the room.
