- 10. Superlatives Superlatives are usedto show the difference between more than two objects. Let’s compare three cars: a small Matiz, a medium size SM5 and a big Equus. The Equus is big so we can say, “The Equus is the biggest.” Because the Matiz is small, we can say, “The Matiz is the smallest.” To learn to use superlatives with adjectives, we need to learn 5basic Rules.
- 11. The ant isthe smallest. • Rule 1. If an adjective has 1 syllable, we add the ending –est to the adjective. small + est = the smallest long + est = the longest
- 12. The hippo isthe fattest. • Rule 2. If a one syllable adjective ends with a consonant + a vowel + a consonant you must double the last consonant and add –est. big + est = the biggest fat + est = the fattest
- 13. The elephant isthe heaviest. • Rule 3. If an adjective ends with a “y”, remove the “y” and add –iest. heavy –y + iest = the heaviest funny –y + iest = the funniest
- 14. The airplane isthe most expensive. • Rule 4. If an adjective has two syllables or more, add the word “the most” before the word. beautiful = the most beautiful expensive = the most expensive satisfactory = the most satisfactory
- 15. • Rule 5.There are a few exceptions. good = the best bad = the worst far = the farthest, the furthest
- 16. • Remember, whenusing a superlative you must always precede it with the word “the”. The Matiz is the smallest. The Equus is the biggest. Brad Pitt is the most handsome. The airplane is the most expensive. Jim Carrey is the funniest.
- 17. Common Mistakes!!! good .. . the goodest bad . . . the baddest fat . . . the most fattest beautiful . . . the beautifullest
- 18. • Use themost… to express the superlative with nouns. Java has the most people of all the islands in Indonesia. Bali gets the most sunshine in the dry season.
