What does superlative adjective means?

A superlative adjective describes something that is the most or least of something in a group. It's used to compare three or more things.

Here's how it works:

* Positive: Describes a quality (e.g., "tall," "beautiful," "fast").

* Comparative: Compares two things (e.g., "taller," "more beautiful," "faster").

* Superlative: Indicates the highest or lowest degree of a quality (e.g., "tallest," "most beautiful," "fastest").

Examples:

* Positive: The house is big.

* Comparative: The blue house is bigger than the green house.

* Superlative: The red house is the biggest of all.

Here are some common ways to form superlative adjectives:

* Adding "-est" to the end of a short adjective: fastest, tallest, smallest.

* Adding "most" or "least" before longer adjectives: most beautiful, least expensive, most interesting.
