Superlatives
¿How the superlative is formed?
If the adjective has two syllables, we can add -
est
or put most in front of the adjective. In many cases the two ways are used
If the adjective has three syllables or more, we will form the comparative adding
Most
The superlative is always preceded by the determined article:
est
When the adjective ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, the last consonant must be repeated before adding the ending
And if it ends in -
y
, we must change it for an
i
some adjectives are irregular in their comparative and superlative forms
Examples:
Bad — worse
Good — best
Far — furthest / farthest
Little — least
Much — most
