REVISITING SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES

(Genially)

1. What are Superlative Adjectives?


We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group
of things. We can use superlative adjectives when we are talking about three or more
things (not two things). Usually, superlative adjectives are formed by adding the suffix
-est to an adjective. Use the before the superlative form of an adjective.

2. Making Superlative Adjectives


To make a superlative adjective word, you have to change the adjective to the
superlative form.
Example:
• Hard
• Comparative: harder
• Superlative: hardest

3. Superlative adjectives rules


a. Rule 1: With regular one syllable adjectives, we add -est to make the
superlative form. Example: cheap, cheaper, the cheapest. This pen drive is
the cheapest. It costs $1.
b. Rule 2: With regular one and two syllable adjectives that end in y, we
remove the y and add -iest to make the superlative form. Example: easy,
easier, the easiest. Social media is the easiest way to communicate in the
world.
c. Rule 3: If the adjective ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC)
pattern, double the final consonant and add -est. Example: big, bigger, the
biggest. The biggest benefit of using alternative energy is that it's a safer
option for people and the planet.
d. Rule 4: With two-syllable adjectives that don't end in -y, and all three (or
more)-syllable adjectives, we add the most before the adjective. Example:
stressful, more stressful, the most stressful. Having too much homework
could be the most stressful issue on students.

4. Irregular superlative adjectives


• Irregular Adjectives don’t follow these rules. So, you must memorize them:
• Good, better, the best
• Bad, worse, the worst
• Far, further, the furthest
• Much, more, the most
• Many, more, the most
• Example: 2020 was the worst year ever.
• Example: UTP is the best university of Peru.
