SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES IN ENGLISH

Hello Everyone!!!

Here below, you can read an explanation to form superlative adjectives in English language.

We use the superlative form of adjectives to compare one person or thing with many others of the type. We use "the" or "a possessive adjective" before the superlative. 

Examples

This is your worst gadget.


Let's have a glance at the following spelling rules:


SHORT ADJECTIVES

1. There are adjectives one or two syllables. So, we have to add "-est" to the adjective to form the superlative

warm  --->  the warmest

cheap  --->  the cheapest


2. Those adjectives that end in "-e", we just add "-st"

nice  --->  the nicest

wide  --->  the widest


3. For short adjectives that end in "-y", we take off "-y" and add "-iest"

happy  --->  the happiest

angry  --->  the angriest


4. For those adjectives that end in  CONSONANT + VOWEL + CONSONANT

We double the last consonant, and then add "-est"

fat  --->  the fattest

hot  --->  the hottest



LONG ADJECTIVES

5. We use the word "most" before many adjectives that have two syllables.


modern  --->  the most modern


and, before all adjectives that have three or more syllables we do the same.

difficult  --->  the most difficult

extrange  --->  the most extrange


6. We can use both forms of the superlative with some-two sylable adjectives.

simple --->  the simplest
                           the most simple

clever  --->  the cleverest
                          the most clever



IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES

There are some irregulares adjectives that don't follow these spelling rules, you have to study by heart.

good  --->  the best

bad  --->  the worst

far  --->  the farthest
                the furthest

little  --->  the least
