Question

He was the (clever) ____ thief of all. (fill the correct form of words given . comparative or superlative)​

Answer 1

He was the most clever thief of all .

Answer 2

He was the cleverest thief of all.

• Because there are more than two thieves in the world, it is the "cleverest."
• When comparing two, and only two, people or things, you can use the phrase "the cleverer" (or "the taller," "the older," "the richer," and so on).
• When comparing two persons or things, comparative adjectives are employed, while superlative adjectives are used when comparing more than two people or things.
• Superlative adjectives can be made from practically any positive form adjective, much as comparative adjectives, as long as the characteristic to which the adjective refers can be compared.
