SUPERLATIVE FORM

SUPERLATIVE FORM

1. What is the superlative form?

   • The superlative is used to describe an object that is at the top or bottom of an object (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). It is used in sentences in which we compare a subject with a group of objects, etc.

2. His structure for making prayers is: Name (subject) + verb + the + adjective in superlative degree + noun (object).

3. differences of comparative form and superlative form

   • * A comparative adjective highlights the inferiority, equality or superiority of one person or thing over another. * Instead, an adjective "superlative" indicates that the subject possesses the quality in the highest degree and above all others.

4. superlative mode rules

   • The superlative is always preceded by the given article: the fastest, the tallest, the most intelligent.
     • the dog is the most faithful animal
   • In the case of one-syllable adjectives, we form the superlative by adding -est at the end: tall - tallest.
     • Example: the building is the tallest in the city
   • If the adjective has two syllables, we can add -est or put most in front of the adjective. In many cases, both forms are used, but one is more common than the other.
     • Example:the pencil is the most useful for writing at school
   • If the adjective has three syllables or more, we will form the comparative adding most: important - the most important.
     • Example: that suit is the most colorful
   • When the adjective ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, the last consonant must be repeated before adding the ending: fat - fattest.
     • Example: John is the fattest
   • And if it ends in -y, we must change it to an i: happy - happiest.
     • Example: luccas is the happiest
