In the sentences below, select the option that accurately shows the superlative form of the adjective. Remember, a superlative adjective describes a noun by comparing it to two or more nouns to the highest or lowest degree.

Identify the comparative and superlative adjectives in the sentences below. There may be more than one in a sentence. Make sure you specify which are comparative and which are superlative.

These exercises will help you practice the use of adjectives within a sentence. They include opposites (such as "gro" (big) and "klein" (small)), as well as comparative and superlative adjectives, which change the form or the stem of the words for the comparative and superlative forms. For example, "gro" (big), "grer" (bigger), "am grten" (the biggest) is an irregular adjective, which changes the form of the word. The word, schnell (fast), schneller (faster), am schnellsten (fastest) is a regular adjective, which changes the stem.

You will also want to be aware that adjectives change their endings according to the noun gender or case and whether the noun is singular or plural. For example, "klein" which is modifying a neuter noun would be written as "Die Mutter gibt dem kleinen Kind einen Knochen" in the dative or "Das kleine Auto fhrt vorbei." in the nominative. If these sentences were plural, they would be written as "Die Mutter gibt den kleinen Kindern einen Kuchen" or "Die kleinen Autos fahren vorbei."

Hello, Sir

I have already done the exercises and I find them very complete and very helpful to put into practice what is explained.

I take with me a great experience and a new learning experience.

I'm not sure if there's a grammatical explanation for this! It might be more about the conventional ideas that we tend to express. The student is saying that there were only three large cabbages in the shop, and they were also the freshest-looking ones, but this might be a bit unclear for listeners/readers to understand and your suggestion sounds clearer and more natural.

Good day, dear experts!

Please, help me to understand why there is "elder" in the name of the game "The Elder Scrolls" when we know that the comparative of "old" is "older". Is there a mistake in this name?

Thank you in advance!

I don't know much about this game, but I suspect 'elder' refers to an important or respected person in a group rather than being a comparative form of 'old'. Have a look at the Longman entry for 'elder' and scroll down to line 2 of the second meaning and you'll see what I mean.

Hello! Can I ask you a question? So, I know that we can use the definite article with comparative adjectives for showing that one thing depends on another as it's written in this website too. But, what about this sentence "the farther side of the mountain"? What's the explanation for it since there are no things depending one another in that sentence? Maybe when we have an implied comparison we can use the definite article too?

Thank you in advance. :)

I don't think this is a question of two things being related in the way described above. I think this is simply an identified and specific item. Just as we would say 'the side of the mountain' (we know which side of which mountain we are talking about), so we say 'the farther side of the mountain'. You could use other articles if you conceive other contexts:

a farther side of the mountain > we know which mountain; it has several farther sides and we are talking about one of them but not saying which one. For example: "This side looks easy to climb. Now I don't know the mountain well, but I've heard that there's a farther side of the mountain which is harder to climb."

the farther side of a mountain > we are imagining that there are only two sides (rather like we say 'the dark side of the moon') and are talking about any mountain. For example: "The farther side of a mountain is always tempting to a mountaineer."

It's also possible to see a sentence like 'They bought the most delicious cake'. There might be some rare exceptions, but normally a sentence like this is superlative because of the context. For example, perhaps in the previous sentences they were talking about all the different cakes in a bakery. So even though the sentence doesn't explicitly mention the other cakes, it's clear from context that there are many cakes.

Hello. Good morning sir/ma'am. This question has been bugging me lately.. Which one is correct? 1.he's the cleverest of *all the other* students.

2.he's the cleverest of *the other students*

Or are they both correct??

Hello sir!

Could you please elaborate on what types of context? Also I have a vocabulary question.. I'm fairly new here and I don't know whether there's a separate page for asking vocabulary questions; is there really one? If there's not, then I might as well ask it here (sorry I know this isn't related to the subject but I got to know this) what's the difference between deadly, lethal, and fatal?

It's really a question of emphasis. 'All' adds rhetorical emphasis so if you want to make your statement stronger (e.g. when making a speech or trying to persuade someone of something) then it might be useful.

The main difference in the words is that fatal means someone died. Deadly and lethal can also describe potential - in other words they can also describe something is extremely dangerous. Thus, I could say 'It was a truly deadly situation and I was lucky to escape alive' but I could not use the word 'fatal' there.
