The document discusses how to form superlative adjectives to compare more than two items in a group. It explains that for regular adjectives, the superlative is formed by adding "-est" to short adjectives or doubling the last consonant and adding "-est" for big adjectives. For long adjectives ending in "-y", "-iest" is added. Longer adjectives use "most" before the adjective. Irregular adjectives like good, bad, and far have unique superlative forms as well.

Superlative adjectives

We use superlative adjectives to show how more than two things are different from
each other in the same group.

e.g. Harry is the tallest boy in the class.

1. Regular adjectives

 Short adjectives (one-syllable)


-the + adjective + -est
Cheap-the cheapest

-the + adjective + the last consonant doubled+ -est


Big – the biggest

-the + adjective + -st


Safe – the safest
 Long adjectives (two-syllable) ending in –y
-the + adjective + -y + -iest
Early – the earliest
 Longer adjectives ( two or more syllables)
-the most + adjective

Expensive – the most expensive

2. Irregular adjectives

Good – the best

Bad – the worst

Far – the farthest/ furthest
