Forming Superlatives: Short Adjectives
For most short adjectives (one or two syllables), we add '-est' to the end. Always put 'the' before the adjective, like 'the tallest'. If a short adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the last consonant before adding '-est', for example, 'big' becomes 'the biggest'. If an adjective ends in '-y', we change the 'y' to 'i' before adding '-est', like 'happy' becoming 'the happiest'.
- Add '-est' for most short adjectives (e.g., tall -> the tallest).
- Double the last consonant if it ends in vowel + consonant (e.g., big -> the biggest).
- Change 'y' to 'i' before '-est' if the adjective ends in '-y' (e.g., happy -> the happiest).
Forming Superlatives: Long and Irregular Adjectives
For longer adjectives (three or more syllables), we use 'most' before the adjective, for example, 'beautiful' becomes 'the most beautiful'. Some adjectives don't follow these rules and are called irregular. You need to remember these special ones, like 'good' changing to 'the best' and 'bad' changing to 'the worst'.
- Use 'most' before longer adjectives (e.g., beautiful -> the most beautiful).
- Remember irregular forms like 'good' -> 'the best' and 'bad' -> 'the worst'.
- Always use 'the' before a superlative adjective.
