Discussion
Identify the part of speech in the underlined word of the following sentence :
Summer was the best time of their lives.
Answer: B
The underlined word 'best' is an Adjective.
In 'Summer was the best time of their lives', 'best' describes the noun 'time', telling what kind of time it was. It is the superlative degree of the adjective 'good' (good, better, best).
'Best' can be an adverb when it modifies a verb, as in 'She sings best', but here it qualifies a noun. It is not a modal, which is a helping verb such as can, may or must, and not a conjunction, which joins words or clauses.
