This is the second video about the degrees of comparison in English, this time superlative adjectives.
00:00:45
Jack is not very tall.
00:00:55
Kate is taller than Jack.
00:00:57
Mike is a bit taller than Kate.
00:01:00
So Mike is the tallest.
00:01:03
Tall, taller, the tallest.
00:01:10
Small, smaller, the smallest.
00:01:12
You already know about the comparative form of adjectives.
00:01:14
Adjectives in the superlative form express the highest degree of certain quality
00:01:18
We make the superlative form of one-syllable adjectives
00:01:23
by adding the suffix "-est", and the definite article "-ve", before the adjective
00:01:30
The shortest
00:01:35
If the adjective has a short vowel, we must double the consonant
00:01:36
add the suffix "-est", and the definite article "-ve", the biggest
00:01:40
So let's look at the comparative and superlative forms together
00:01:46
Smaller – the smallest
00:01:50
Taller – the tallest
00:01:53
Older – the oldest
00:01:55
Hotter – the hottest
00:01:58
For example, Mike is the tallest guy in the office.
00:02:01
Today is the hottest day of the year.
00:02:06
Mike is the most sociable person in the office.
00:02:14
Jack is the most helpful.
00:02:18
We make the superlative form of two and more syllable adjectives by adding the word the most before the adjective
00:02:20
For example, the most sociable
00:02:30
And again, let's read comparatives and superlatives together
00:02:33
More sociable, the most sociable
00:02:38
More interesting, the most interesting
00:02:42
More boring, the most boring
00:02:45
the opposite of the most is the least the least sociable the least interesting
00:02:48
the least boring more examples John is the most sociable boy in the class this
00:03:00
is the most interesting book I have like comparatives superlatives also have some
00:03:10
special rules two and more syllable adjectives ending and why usually make
00:03:18
their superlative forms by replacing Y with I and the suffix EST for example
00:03:23
the easiest more comparative and superlative forms like this easier the
00:03:31
easiest lazier the laziest happier the happiest funnier the funniest but there
00:03:39
is another way two and more syllable adjectives ending in Y can also make
00:03:50
the superlative form with the help of the most before the adjective for
00:03:55
example the most easy more easy the most easy more lazy the most lazy more happy
00:03:59
the most happy more funny the most funny Jack is the best speaker at the
00:04:08
conference so let's look at the irregular adjectives again good better
00:04:17
the best bad worse the worst far further the furthest or far farther the farthest
00:04:24
the feathers door led to a kitchen today is the worst day ever
00:04:35
Jack is my best friend Mike is the tallest of all his colleagues Jack is
00:04:42
the most experienced of all there are some more or less fixed structures with
00:04:53
superlatives for example a superlative plus the preposition of when we talk
00:05:00
about a representative of some group for example Mike is the tallest of all his
00:05:04
colleagues Jack is the most experienced of all Kate is by far the most organized
00:05:10
person in the company to make a superlative adjective stronger we use
00:05:21
the intensifier by far before the superlative Kate is by far the most
00:05:29
organized person in the company Jack is by far the best project manager one more
00:05:35
structure is one of plus superlative when we talk about a representative of a
00:05:44
group she is one of the best singers in the world and finally the structure an
00:05:49
ordinal number plus a superlative adjective you remember ordinal numbers
00:05:58
the first, the second, the third
00:06:03
