5. Grammar: Superlatives! The superlative of something is the most (or the least) of a descriptive quality. With short adjectives, superlatives are structured as follows: Examples:She would choose the cheapest car possible. Even his ugliest clothes are better looking than mine. Short Adjectives are those having one or – if the adjective ends in ‘-er,’ ‘-ow,’ ‘-le,’ ‘-y’ -- two syllables. A final ‘y’ is replaced by an ‘i’ before the ‘-est.’ With long adjectives, superlatives are structured as follows: Examples:These guys are the most intelligent I’ve ever met. It will soon by July 4 th, the most popular American holiday. Negative superlatives are formed by using ‘the least’ + [adjective]. Example:She’s the least outgoing of my friends.
