$LESSON 3-6: The Biggest and the Best

# Source: ST §Comparative and Superlative
$GRAMMAR Comparative and Superlative
ID: l3-s22
INTRO: In this part you'll learn the superlative — how to say something is the biggest, the oldest, or the fastest of them all.

| ADJECTIVE | COMPARATIVE | SUPERLATIVE |
|---|---|---|
| big | bigger | the biggest |
| heavy | heavier | the heaviest |
| light | lighter | the lightest |
| new | newer | the newest |
| old | older | the oldest |
| wide | wider | the widest |

The superlative form of the adjective is used to compare three or more persons, or things. Add **the + est** to one-syllable adjectives and to some two-syllable adjectives.

Compare two things with **-er**; compare three or more with **the -est**:

{The car is fast.} → {The train is faster.} → {The airplane is the fastest.}
