Difference Between Worse And Worst

Answer 3

Worse and worst are adjectives, the comparative and superlative form of the adjective bad. Loss can be an instance of losing, someone or something that is gone, or some kind of casualty. Lost has several different meanings: missing, gone, no longer there, or perplexed/bewildered.

Answer 4

Worse is a comparison of two things, worst is used in three or more (same as better and best).

Loss and lost have some similar meanings and some vastly different meanings. The comparison here is not the same as in worse and worst.

Answer 5

You use 'worse' when you are comparing two things, as in, "A flat tire is worse than a slowly leaking tire".

You use 'worst' when you are comparing something with more than one thing or with many things as in, "This is the worst book I've ever read".
