one of the best or one of the bests

The correct phrase is “one of the best.” Since “best” is a superlative adjective, it implies that it is of the highest order, so it does not require the “s.” In other words, “one of the best” means that something or someone is among the best or most distinguished.

  • Example.. “I believe that this new Italian restaurant is one of the best in town, with its authentic dishes and excellent service; in fact, I would say that it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.”

“one of the bests” is grammatically incorrect.
