16 Question Strips on Superlatives - A worksheet for practicing superlative adjectives in English.

This worksheet contains discussion questions about superlatives (words like *biggest*, *oldest*, *best*). Since many of these questions ask for personal opinions or facts about your specific class and family, there is no single "correct" answer for all of them.

However, I can provide the factual answers for the general knowledge questions and explain how to answer the personal ones.
