Superlative Adjective Spelling
Follow @Lirdn
There are 2 ways to create superlative adjectives. It depends
on the lenth of the adjective. There are 2 groups "short words" and
"long words".
Short words - adjectives with 1 syllable or adjectives with 2 syllables
if the word ends in -y. then -est is added to the end of the word.
Notes:
- Adjectives ending in -y change the -y to I and add -est.
- Adjective that end with a consonant, vowel, consonant - the last consonant is doubled and -est is added to the end of the adjective.

Long words - words with 3 more syllables, and words with 2 syllables that don't end in -y. The word "most" is placed before the adjective.
Note: Adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective.
