| Video Discription | Superlative adjectives in English Superlative adjectives in English are used when comparing more than 2 things. The most beautiful, the best food, the worst football player. Learn all about superlative adjectives in this grammar lesson. I'll teach you what they are, how and when to use them, and give you some spelling tips and important exceptions to the rules. Test yourself on superlatives with the quiz at the end. Hi, my name is Sarah and today we are going to learn about superlative adjectives in English. If you have not seen my lesson on comparative adjectives, I recommend you follow the link above or down below first. As we saw in my lesson on comparative adjectives, we say "This car is faster than this car." When we are comparing MORE than 2 things we use the superlative. This is the fastest car. It goes 300 kph. Here : this is the fastest car. Is the superlative. When using a one syllable adjective such as tall, small or fast. We use THE plus the adjective plus -EST. So lets go back to our snail and rabbit. If we compare the two animals we say The snail is slower than the rabbit. But if we add the sloth We say: The sloth is the slowest animal in the world. It is slower than ALL other animals. Now remember our flowers. A beautiful bunch of tulips and an unwanted weed. These flowers are more beautiful than these flowers. But the rose is the most beautiful flower. It is more beautiful than all the other flowers. When comparing more than 2 things with most adjectives with two syllables or more, we add "the most" plus the adjective For example: Skiing is the most exciting sport. Ex – cit – ing is 3 syllables so we use THE most. So the Rule is : Short adjectives ( 1 syllable) we add "the + adjective + est" Long adjectives 2 syllables or more we add "the most + adjective". There are some spelling changes you should remember. The first one to remember is with one-syllable adjectives with the pattern consonant vowel consonant remember to double the final consonant before –est For example. This is the biggest ball. Notice the double consonant g. If the adjective ends in –e, just add –rst This house is the largest. 2 syllable adjectives ending in y like Lucky, Happy and angry. First thing to note is that unlike other adjectives with 2 syllables the don't take more but –est. AND the –y, it changes to I For example This monkey is the angriest. Notice angry is a 2 syllable adjective an gry ending in y so we est AND the y has changed to I Now for the exceptions: The first one is good. So the drink is good. Then you compare the meal and the drink and the meal is better and then you compare fruit to both of them and Fruit is the best food for your health. The superlative of good is the best. not the goodest! Then bad. So likewise Alcohol is bad for your health. Cigarettes are worse. But the worst of all is drugs. So drugs are the worst thing for your health. The superlative of bad is worst not the baddest! And lastly far. So as we saw in my compartives tutorial . The UK is far, China is farther/ further. But the furthest of all is Pluto. So Pluto is the farthest or furthest planet from the Earth. Note that you can use farthest or furthest as a superlative for far. Now its your turn. Compare these 3 cats using the adjective fat. This cat is ….... the fattest. Remember CVC, consonant, vowel, consonant, you double the final consonant. Compare these 3 people using the adjective lucky. This woman is …......the luckiest. Remember 2 syllable adjectives ending in y don't take more but –est and remember y changes to I Compare these 3 objects using the adjective expensive. A crown, a pen and an apple.
