Using comparatives and superlatives with indefinite and definite articles
Hello sir,
I want to ask you the usage of articles ( definite and indefinite) while using comparatives and superlatives.
For example
1) He is tallest .
Can we say or write "He is the tallest or He is a taller in the sentence above ?
In what situations do we use " definite and indefinite articles along with superlatives and comparatives ?
2) It is the most expensive car .
Can we say
A most expensive car
A more expensive car
A much expensive car
In what situations do we use " definite and indefinite articles" with " Much,More, and Most ?
And in what situations do we no use articles ( definite and indefinite articles) with superlatives and comparatives ?
