soccer ball.

rambutan.

Do you have any idea on when to

use the superlative degree with

words ending inest?

Yes!

Definitely!

We use simple describing words

called adjectiveswhich end with

-est when we compare one or

more personswith all other

people in a group. For example,

the brightestchildren in the

school; or one or more places

with all other places, for example,

the richest countryin the world;

or one or more things with all

other things of the same kind, for

example, the cheapest

vegetables in the market.

Adjectives which end with -est

are called superlatives.


7/16

Examples:

1.)They are the brightestchildren in the school.2.)Mr. Carlsons stall sells the cheapestvegetables in the market.3.)This is the hardesttest so far.4.)This is the biggestand the thickestbook in the library.5.)This is the longestmovie I have ever seen.

Heres how you do it!

Lets answer the exercise below for us

adjectives ending inest! Please fill in

the blanks with correct forms or the

superlative degree usingest of the

9/16

When we compare one thing or a few things with

many other things using longer describing words, we

use the Superlative adjectiveusing most

Here are some examples:

1.)She is the most beautifulgirl in the school.

2.) He is the most politesalesman in that store

Shes as strong as him. (Not.. as he..)

Im as fast as them. (Not as they..)

Now, lets discuss the comparison

AS!

Do you know when to use AS?

Rule No. 1! We use as +

adjective + as (e.g. as old

as)to say that twothings or

people are the same is

some way. It looks like this.

Note that we say as me / as him / as

her/ as us / as them, and not as I /

as he / as she etc:


12/16

1.)The two star hotel isnt as big as the four star hotel.2.)Im not as clever as her. (She is cleverer than me)

Jean cooks as well as Tom.

(= Jean and Tom are both good cooks.)

He couldnt run as quickly as Maria.

(= Maria ran more quickly than him.)

Rule No. 2! When use not as asto talk

about a difference between two things

or people. Here are the examples!

Rule Number 3!We can also use as +

adverb + as (e.g. as well as). Here is

how you do it!


13/16

Jane has got as many friends as Mary.

I dont have as many books as you.

Helen earns as much money as Colin.

Jack doesnt do as much work as me.

They arent carrying as much luggage as us.

Rule Number 4!We use as

many + plural noun + as (e.g.

as many friends as)to say that

the number of two thing same

are equal. It looks like this!

We use not as many. asto

say two things are not equal.

Heres the rule number 5! We use as much + uncountable

noun + as (e.g. as much as money as)to compare two

things.Uncountable nounsare words for things that we

cannot count, and so they do not have a plural form (money,

work, luggage, traffic). Here is the application of this rule!


14/16
