Hello,
With the superlative adjective, we need "the" before the adjective.
She is the most beautiful girl in the room.
What about superlative adverbs? I have seen both (with and without "the") on grammar websites and books. How are they really by native speakers?
She sings (the) most beautifully.
I seem to remember from my school years that "most" when used alone (without "the") means 'very'.
You are most kind.
If that is really the case, then without "the", "most" isn't a superlative form, right (or wrong)?
Thank you.
