Los superlativos son palabras que describen una cualidad en su máximo o mínimo punto. Veámoslo con algunos ejemplos:
Los superlativos se separan en 4 categorías principales:
Una sílaba | Dos sílabas | Tres o más sílabas | Irregulares |
---|---|---|---|
big = biggest | happy = happiest | beautiful = the most beautiful | the best |
nice = nicest | simple = the most simple | expensive = the most expensive | the worst |
Si la palabra termina en consonante, se repite y agrega est. Si termina en vocal, sólo se agrega st. | Cuando termina en “y”, la cambiamos por “i” y agregamos est. | Para superlativos de tres sílabas siempre vamos a usar “artículo + superlativo”, ya que son palabras muy largas. | Estos casos escapan de la regla y debemos tomarlos en cuenta para usarlos bien. |
Nota: Podemos crear superlativos de dos sílabas con “the most” o agregando “st”. Ejemplo:
La forma de componer oraciones con superlativos es la siguiente:
Artículo + superlativo + adjetivo + sustantivo

What is a superlative? Well, a superlative is the highest or lowest point of a specific quality. We create superlatives with adjectives and adverbs.
An adjective is a word that is used to describe a noun, that is, to describe a person, to describe a place or to describe something “beautiful place”, “tall person”,
An adverb, on the other hand, is a word that we use to describe an action, how an action is performed. “I cook well”.
First we are going to use the word “the”,
For example, the words “big” and “nice” have one syllable. Big, pretty. On the other hand, we have adjectives with two syllables like “happy” (happy) and “simple” (simple). Happy, simple. Additionally, we have adjectives with more than three syllables. Ex: “beautiful” and “expensive”. And finally, we have irregular adjectives.
It is very important to remember this detail when we are creating superlatives.
Big becomes bigger
Cold, the coldest
Big, the biggest
Small, the smallest
Short, the shortest
