Hello learners! :D
On previous post, we have learned about comparative, right?
So now we are going to learn superlative.
Definition : A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things.

Definition : A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things.
In the example below, "biggest" is the superlative form of the adjective "big" :
| A B C A is the biggest. |
Another example :
the right one is the tallest
| Form | Rule | For example |
|---|---|---|
| Words of one syllable ending in "e". | Add -st to the end of the word. | wide - widest |
| Words of one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end. | Double the consonant and add -est to the end of the word. | big - biggest |
| Words of one syllable, with more than one vowel or more than one consonant at the end. | Add -est to the end of the word. | high - highest |
| Words of two syllables, ending in "y". | Change "y" to "i", and add-est to the end of the word. | happy - happiest |
| Words of two syllables or more, not ending in "y". | Place "the most" before the adjective. | beautiful - the most beautiful |
Take this note : We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things, not two things.
