Language Analysis
Superlative adjectives
We form superlative adjectives by adding -est / ɪst/ to regular adjectives e.g. fast – the
fastest. We should not forget about the preceding the. There are also some important
spelling rules to be followed. We cannot forget about e.g. happy – happier (y changes into
ier).
There are also irregular adjectives and have irregular forms:
good – the best
bad – the worst
far – the farthest / furthest
little – the least
much/many/a lot – the most
