Don't forget that some adjectives are irregular: 'good' becomes 'the best'
'bad' becomes 'the worst'
'far' becomes 'the furthest'
For example:
"Jill is the best student in the class ."
"Jack is the worst student in the class."
"In our solar system the planet Pluto is the
furthest planet from the Sun."
!Note - Have you noticed that these superlatives are
preceded by 'the'.
