SUPERLATIVES AND COMPARATIVES

Like the comparatives, superlatives are formed in one way or another depending on the

number of syllables the adjective has, but always putting them in front of them. Look:

If you have a syllable, we add -est: cheap> the cheapest

If it has two syllables but it ends in y, we add -est and that and it becomes i: easy> the

easiest

If it has two syllables and does not end in y, we put most in front of the adjective: boring>

the most boring

If it has three or more syllables, we also put most in front of the adjective: expensive> the

most expensive
