Superlative
As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a superlative adjective: * short adjectives: add "-est" * long adjectives: use "most"
We also usually add 'the' at the beginning. Short adjectives | 1-syllable adjectives | old, fast | 2-syllable adjectives ending in -y | happy, easy | Normal rule: add "-est" | old → the oldest | Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -st | late → the latest | Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant | big → the biggest | Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i | happy → the happiest | Long adjectives | 2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y | modern, pleasant | all adjectives of 3 or more syllables | expensive, intellectual | Normal rule: use "most" | modern → the most modern expensive → the most expensive | With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use '-est' or 'most': * quiet → the quietest/most quiet * clever → the cleverest/most clever * narrow → the narrowest/most narrow * simple → the simplest/most simple

Exception
The following adjectives have irregular forms: * good → the best * bad → the worst * far → the furthest

Comparative
When we compare two things or people we look at what makes them different from each other.
For example:
Tall / Short

The man on the left is taller than the man on the right.
The man on the right is shorter than the man on the left.
Fast / Slow

A car is faster than a bicycle.
A bicycle is slower than a car.
Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one thing has more or less than the other. They normally come before any other adjectives.

For example:
Big / Small

The red bag is bigger than the blue bag.
The blue bag is smaller than the red bag.
Forming the comparative
