Struktura

Za mnoge kratke prideve, dodajte -est.

Subjekat + be + the + pridev-est + imenica/dopuna

• tall → the tallest
• small → the smallest
• fast → the fastest

Primer:

Leo is the tallest student in the class.

Ako se pridev završava na -e, dodajte samo -st.

• nice → the nicest
• large → the largest

Ako se kratak pridev završava na jedan samoglasnik + jedan suglasnik, završni suglasnik se često udvostručuje.

• big → the biggest
• hot → the hottest

Ako se pridev završava na suglasnik + -y, promenite y u i i dodajte -est.

• happy → the happiest
• easy → the easiest

Za mnoge duže prideve, koristite the most.

Subjekat + be + the most + pridev + imenica/dopuna

This is the most comfortable chair in the room.

Da pokažete najniži stepen, koristite the least.

Subjekat + be + the least + pridev + imenica/dopuna
