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

                   • This is the happiest bear of the litter.

               • She is the most beautiful girl in this class
