La superlativa Chapter 1B- Grammar
La forma superlativa • A superlative is used in English when we wish to express that something is the “best” or the “worst.” Or maybe we would like to say that of all the things in a group there is ONE that stands out as the “smartest, tallest, biggest” etc. • You maybe recognize a superlative as a word ending in “est” in English. • In Spanish you cannot add an ending to an adjective to create a superlative. Instead you must use a special “formula” in your sentence to express this.
