TENSE TUESDAY: IRREGULAR SUPERLATIVES

Hello, readers! I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday. For tense Tuesday, we are looking at IRREGULAR SUPERLATIVES. This is not exactly a tense, but it is interesting grammar, which is also a follow up from a lesson we did last month (see below).

Remember that SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES are adjectives used to compare two or more things. The structure to make a SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVE is generally THE ADJECTIVE -EST. 

Example 1: He is the tallest person in my family. 

But with adjectives that have three or more syllables, we use THE MOST ADJECTIVE. 

Example 2: You are the most knowledgeable person I've ever met. 

We looked at Superlatives last month. Click on the following link to see that lesson:

In that lesson, we mentioned that we would look at IRREGULAR SUPERLATIVES separately. IRREGULAR SUPERLATIVES do not follow the EST pattern of other adjectives. 

Here are some IRREGULAR SUPERLATIVES:

good, better, BEST
bad, worse, WORST
little, less, LEAST
much, more, MOST

Example 3: We bought the least expensive plane tickets. 

Example 4: She always buys the most unique clothes. 

That's all for today. Thank you for reading!
