Superlatives: the biggest, the fastest etc…

Comparatives and superlatives are formed from the base adjective:

big (grand) –> bigger (plus grand) –> the biggest

Note that many small adjectives, (big, fat, thin, slim) double the final consonant in order to keep the same pronunciation of the first vowel.

Longer adjectives are different:

Intelligent –> more intelligent –> the most intelligent

Votre devoir:

The Guiness book of world records is full of examples of superlatives. Think of some questions to ask me and I will try to find the answers. Here are a few examples:

What’s the longest river in the world?

Who’s the oldest person in the world?

Which is the nearest star to our Sun?
