The superlative

The superlative
The superlative is a structure very similar to the comparative superiority. Again we must take into account the number of syllables in the adjective:
 
1-syllable adjectives:
The + adjective + - est
The more + adjective

This car is the fastest> This car is the fastest.
Those one-syllable adjectives ending in consonant-vowel-consonant double their final consonant before adding est:
- Big> the biggest

adjectives of 3 or more syllables:
The most + adjective
The more + adjective
- This car is the Most Expensive> This car is the most expensive.

adjectives of 2 syllables: Adjectives of two syllables that employ-er in the comparative superiority using the-est in the superlative while using more use the MOST:
- Nice> the nicest
- Modern> The Most modern

2-syllable adjectives ending in e add only st:
- Fine> the finest
2-syllable adjectives ending in and change the y to an i, and add est:
- Happy> the happiest
- Easy> the Easiest

Finally, there are three very common adjectives have a comparative training irregulartanto of superiority as the superlative. are:
- Good (good) / Better (better) / The best (the best)
- Bad (bad) / Worse (worse) / The worst (worst)
- Far (far) / Farther, Further (further) / The farthest, the furtherst (the máslejano)
