HOW TO TO COMPARE PEOPLE, OBJECTS, PLACES AND ANIMALS

SUPERLATIVES: COMPARE ONE THING TO A GROUP / WHEN WE COMPARE MORE THAN TWO
THINGS

Bogotá is the biggest city in Colombia

I’m the tallest in my family

This is the most expensive book I’ve ever bought

SPELLING RULES:

1. Add -er to most one-syllable adjectives (short adjectives)

the coldest / the smallest / the fastest / the tallest

2. Adjectives ending in consonant + vowel + consonant: double the final consonant + -est

The biggest / the hottest / the slimmest

3. Adjectives ending in -y change to -ier

The happiest / the sunniest

 If the adjective is long and ends in +y you have to change the +y for -i

Friendly = friendlier / healthy = healthier

4. Adjectives with two or more than two syllables: add the most + adjective

The most expensive / the most interesting / the most important

5. IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES

Good: the best

Bad: the worst

Far: the farthest / the furthest

Before superlatives, we can write the article “the” or a possessive adjective ( my, your, his,
her, its, our, their)

The most expensive car / the hottest city in Colombia

My best experience at school / Your best friend when you were a child
