Today there are as many people as yesterday in the theater.

The most emotional concert was the one yesterday. -Para mí, la obra menos divertida es “Algún día”. For me, the least fun work, is “Algún día”.

  7. EL SUPERLATIVO • When mejor and peor are used as superlatives, use: el/la/los/las + mejor(es)/peor(es) + noun (the best/worst ____) Por ejemplo: -Pienso que Alejandra Ruiz es la mejor bailarina. I think that Alejandra Ruiz is the best dancer. -¡Ustedes son los peores cantantes! You all are the worst singers!
