I like this one most.

Question

Please advise which of the following is correct:I like this one most.I like this one the most.If both are fine, what is the difference in usage and in meaning?

Clive · Accepted Answer

Hi,

A. I like this one most.

B. I like this one the most.

I'd say B is grammatically correct. However, in speaking it's not uncommon to omit 'the' and use A. I wouldn't say that in speech, that's wrong.

Other people here may offer you a different opinion.

Best wishes, Clive

Be sure that there are at least three items under consideration. For only two, the correct sentence would be 'I like this one more', but not 'the more'.

I am confused. Isn't 'most' an adverb modifying the verb 'like' in the sentence? How can an adverb have an article?

Hello

I think Superlative of adverbs ( examples) will be helpful to you.
