another are known as relative pronouns. The relative pronouns that, which,
where, when, why, what, whom, and whose are a few examples.

sentence. Prepositions are also called 'relationship words' because they establish
a relationship between two words.

ADJECTIVES

Adjectives don't have a singular and plural form OR a masculine, feminine and
neutral form. Adjectives are always the same! Never add a final –s to an adjective.
Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject
of a sentence.

Generally, the adjective order in English is:
Quantity or number
Quality or opinion
Size
Age
Shape
Color
Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
Purpose or qualifier

degree, and ‘sweetest’ is in the superlative degree.
