I am taller than my brother but my father is the tallest in our family.

This sentence contains one comparative adjective (taller) and one superlative adjective (tallest).

The superlative form is made by adding -est to adjectives with one or two syllables but for adjectives with three or more syllables you say most beautiful (not beautifulest).

Some other superlatives are:

most exciting, most interesting, biggest, fattest, widest.

Some adjective are irregular ie they don't follow the rule and have different words for comparative and superlative forms eg

good, better (comparative), best (superlative)

bad, worse (comparative), worst (superlative)
