The superlative form of adjectives<br />

Learn<br />

The superlative form of adjectives<br />

• We use a superlative adjective to describe one thing in a group of three or more things.<br />

Example: Canada, China and Russia are big countries. But Russia is the biggest.<br />

● One-syllable adjectives form the superlative by adding the suffix<br />

-est to the adjective and placing the before the adjecive<br />

– If the adjective ends in -e: omit the vowel and add -est<br />

– One-syllable adjectives ending in one vowel + one consonant:<br />

double the final consonant and add -est<br />

● Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y: change the -y to -i and add<br />

-est<br />

● Other adjectives of two or more syllables form the superlative<br />

with the most + adjective<br />

● Irregular adjectives<br />

Examples: The biggest city in France is Paris<br />

The most complicated language in the world is Chinese<br />
