¿Cómo se formula el adjetivo de grado superlativo?

R= Debes seguir las mismas reglas que para el grado comparativo, lo único que cambia el sufijo, el sufijo debes usar en este caso es el siguiente: –est, y tienes que colocar the antes del superlativo.
Observa:
a) Adjetivos de una sílaba que terminan en “consonante”
(cheap, clean, dark, light, long, neat, plain, short, slow, small, sweet)
Aagregar –est al adjetivo: cheap +est = cheapest
Long- longest
This is the longest river in the world.
b) Adjetivos de una sílaba formados por:
consonante(c ) + vocal(v)+ consonante (c)
( big, thin, fat, hot )
Repite la consonante final y añade -est.
Big+ g + est = Biggest
Hot hottest
This is the hottest day in the year.
c) Adjetivos de dos sílabas que terminan con “y”
(Happy, crazy, funny, lonely, lovely, lazy, noisy)
Elimina la “y”, y añade iest: pretty – y = prett + iest= prettiest
Juana is the prettiest girl in town.
Easy-the easiest

e) Adjetivos de una sílaba que terminan en “e”
(nice, fine, loose)
Añade –r al adjetivo:

(bad, good, many, little, far)
Convierta el adjetivo al superlativo así:
Bad en worst, good en the best, many en the most, little en the least, far en furthest o farthest
y a old en oldest o eldest
