Incorrect structures include:
- "more friendlier" (use "friendlier").
- "the more tastier" (use "the tastiest").
- "a more expensive" (while correct, "the" may be more appropriate depending on context).

Example of correct superlative usage: "This is the best cake I have ever tasted."
Avoid incorrect superlatives such as:
- "the most tallest" (should be "the tallest").
- "more faster" (should be "faster").
