Hi,

'Worst' is the superlative and 'worse' the comparative. Where did you come across both words? Can you give us more context please? Also, please stick to basic punctuation and capitalization rules. For more information, please read this: How can I improve my writing and skills?

Finally, please change the title of your post after you read this: What is a meaningful post title?

'The worse' is used in double comparison sentences eg "The worse the law and order situation became,the stricter actions the police authorities decided to take.
'The worst',is the superlative form of 'Bad'(positive one)and 'worse'(comparative).
For example,''yestreday's was THE WORST law and order situation in the last week."

And what about using "the worse" like this? :

I have got 2 tasks to do today... one is hard but the second is even harder(it's worse than the first one). If I do the worse one now I will feel better while doing the easier one bacause I will know that I have already done the worse one.

Is it possible to use it this way? thank you very much
