Rules for using the superlative

- If the word is one syllable (a short word), the suffix "-est" is usually added at the end. "Big" becomes "biggest," for example.

Some one-syllable words, such as "big," can be transformed into superlative form by adding "-est" at the end, but you must also double the last letter. As a result, "big" becomes "biggest."

This rule does not count for all words.

- If the word is two syllables long and ends in "y," change the "y" to I and add "-est". "Happy" becomes "happiest" for example.

- If the word has two or more syllables and does not end in "y," you put "the most" before it. "Beautiful" becomes "the most beautiful," for example.

- Some words have irregular superlative forms. For example, "bad" becomes "worst".
