When three or more things are compared, the superlative form of the adjective is used to describe the object that is at the highest or lowest limit of the group. This usually means -est is added to the end of the adjective, as in "tallest," "smallest," or "hardest."

The superlative can, in some cases, be formed using the words "most" or "least," as in "most beautiful" or "least expensive." Then there are irregular adjectives, whose superlative form is a completely different word.

We have put together a large collection of examples of superlative adjectives that will demonstrate these different forms.
