Forming superlative adjectives
2
What are superlatives?
A superlative adjective compares three or more nouns and shows the noun with the highest degree.
3
For example:
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
This compares all of the mountains in the world and shows that Mount Everest is the highest in the group.
4
When the adjective has one syllable
the superlative is formed by adding “the ” + -est to the end of the word.
5
6
When the adjective has two syllables and ends in -y
The superlative is formed just as in the first case for adjectives with one syllable by adding “the ” -est and changing the -y to an -i .
Adjective: “happy” Comparative: “happier ” Superlative: “the happiest ”
7
When the adjective is long
In this case, the only option to form the superlative is adding “the ” + “most ”.
Adjective: “important” Comparative: “more important” Superlative: “the most important”
