Language Focus

We use the superlative forms of adjectives to compare three or more things.

The Avon Inn is the smallest hotel on our site.
The Ice Palace is the most unusual hotel in the world.

We form superlatives in this way:

Adjectives with one syllable: add -est

cheap ===> cheapest
cold ===> coldest

Adjectives with two syllables, ending in -y: change the
-y to -iest

pretty ===>  prettiest
friendly ===>  friendliest

Other adjectives:
use most
expensive ===>most expensive
romantic ===>most romantic

Two common irregular adjectives

Good ===>
best
bad ===>
worst

Use the prompts to complete the dialogues with the superlative form of the adjectives.

2) A - That’s a really tall building.
