" -the before the main adjective and -est before it." T: so the adjectives used to describe too much thing. Form is : the + main adjective + est . 2 nd sentence: CCQS: where the superlative adjective here? " the biggest". what is the main adjective?"big" what is the difference between the main and the superlative adjectives? the before the adjective, double " g ", and add - est.
