Superlative Adjectives

A superlative adjective is a word that describes the highest degree of a quality among three or more things. For example, 'tallest' is the superlative form of 'tall.'

For one-syllable adjectives, add '-est' to the end of the word. For example, 'fast' becomes 'fastest.'

The superlative form of 'big' is 'biggest.'

The superlative form of 'happy' is 'happiest.'

For two-syllable adjectives ending in 'y', change the 'y' to 'i' and add '-est'. For example, 'funny' becomes 'funniest.'

The superlative form of 'funny' is 'funniest.'

For two-syllable adjectives that do not end in 'y', use 'most' before the adjective. For example, 'careful' becomes 'most careful.'

The superlative form of 'careful' is 'most careful.'

The superlative form of 'good' is 'best.'

The superlative form of 'bad' is 'worst.'
