Superlatives

SuperlativesSuperlatives are used to show the difference between more than two objects.

Lets compare three cars: a small Matiz, a medium size SM5 and a big Equus.

The Equus is big so we can say, The Equus is the biggest.

Because the Matiz is small, we can say, The Matiz is the smallest.

To learn to use superlatives with adjectives, we need to learn 5 basic Rules.

The ant is the smallest.Rule 1. If an adjective has 1 syllable, we add the ending est to the adjective.

small + est = the smallestlong + est = the longest

The hippo is the fattest.Rule 2. If a one syllable adjective ends with a consonant + a vowel + a consonant you must double the last consonant and add est.

big + est = the biggest fat + est = the fattest

The elephant is the heaviest.Rule 3. If an adjective ends with a y, remove the y and add iest.

heavy y + iest = the heaviest funny y + iest = the funniest

The airplane is the most expensive.Rule 4. If an adjective has two syllables or more, add the word the most before the word.

beautiful = the most beautiful expensive = the most expensive satisfactory = the most satisfactory

Rule 5. There are a few exceptions. good = the bestbad = the worst

far = the farthest, the furthest

Remember, when using a superlative you must always precede it with the word the.

The Matiz is the smallest.

The Equus is the biggest.

Brad Pitt is the most handsome.

The airplane is the most expensive. Jim Carrey is the funniest.

Common Mistakes!!! good . . . the goodestbad . . . the baddestfat . . . the most fattest beautiful . . . the beautifullest

Use the most to express the superlative with nouns.
