Question

he made a very best painting correct the sentence ​

Answer 1

He made the best painting.

• In the given sentence there is an superlative degree of adjective (ie. best).
• And, before any kind of superlative degree of adjective we cannot use the word "very".
• "Very" can be only used before the positive degree of any adjective.
• So, the sentence can also rewritten by a positive degree of adjective, in the following manner -

He made a very good painting.

Answer 2

He made the best painting.

• In the given sentence, we should use "the best" instead of "a very" as it gives the proper meaning of the sentence.

• Generally, the word ''very'' is used before adjectives and adverbs to add emphasis. For example- He writes very fast. She reads very quickly.

• Adjectives have three different degrees of comparison. The positive, The comparative, and the superlative.

• The positive degree of comparison is used to describe one item. The comparative degree is used to describe two items whereas the superlative degree is used to describe two or more items.

• The word ''best'' is the superlative degree. ''Good'' and ''better'' words are positive and comparative degrees respectively.

• It is not correct to say ''very best'' for a formal speech but we can use it for informal speech.

• It is grammatically not correct to use ''very'' before a superlative degree but we can use it before a positive degree.
