Best Answer

Superlative modifiers are descriptive words that end in - est. Or, for irregular modifiers, the superlative form is the one which takes the concept to the highest degree. (See examples below)

The modifiers that end in -er are called the comparative forms.

Examples:

long, longer, longest (longest = superlative)

cold, colder, coldest (coldest = superlative)

good, better, best (This is an irregular form, best = superlative)

bad, worse, worst (also an irregular form, worst = superlative)
