Superlatives.

Superlatives.

1. Basically we form the superlative by adding the suffix -est to the adjective.

   • small (pequeño) - the smallest (el más pequeño)

2. exceptions

   • Some adjectives are irregular in their comparative and superlative forms. These are some examples of the most common irregular superlatives:
     • Bad — worse Good — best Far — furthest / farthest Little — least Much — most

3. rules

   • The superlative is always preceded by the determined article: the fastest, the tallest, the most intelligent.
   • In the case of the adjectives of a syllable, we form the superlative by adding -est at the end: tall - tallest.
   • 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.
   • If the adjective has three syllables or more, we will form the comparative by adding most: important - the most important.
   • When the adjective ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, the last consonant must be repeated before adding the ending: fat - fattest.
   • And if it ends in -y, we must change it to an i: happy - happiest
