Superlative adjectives in English are used to compare three or more items, indicating the highest or lowest degree of a quality. They are formed differently based on the length of the adjective, with one-syllable adjectives typically adding -est, two-syllable adjectives ending in -y changing -y to -iest, and longer adjectives using 'the most.' Irregular forms exist, such as 'the best' for good and 'the worst' for bad.
