💰 Comparing Things (The 'est' trick)

In the text, we see: highest-paid and best.

When we want to say one person is #1 in a group, we change the word.

  • High \rightarrow Highest (The most money)
  • Good \rightarrow Best (The top quality)

How it works: If the word is short, add -est to the end.

  • Example: Fast \rightarrow Fastest
  • Example: Small \rightarrow Smallest

Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. Good does not become "goodest". It becomes Best.
