Superlatives

Superlatives

1. Grammar rules

   • You have to USE superlatives
     • You compare three or more things
       • when
   • adjectives
     • For short words
       • You have to add
         • est
           • At the end
             • Example
               • This is the biggest piece of cake.
             • Note:
               • Remember that adjectives ending in ‑y change their spelling when ‑est is added. To form these superlatives, change the y to an i before adding the -est ending
                 • Example:
                   • This is the happiest bear of the litter.
     • For long words
       • You only have to add
         • the most
           • at the beginning
             • Example
               • She is the most beautiful girl in this class
     • Irregular adjectives
       • there are irregular adjectives (and adverbs) that you have to memorize because they don’t follow the rules above.
         • Example:
           • good/well
             • best
             • bad/badly
               • worst
               • little
                 • least
