Lesson Goal
Students will learn about superlative adjectives. They will know how to describe things as the tallest, the smallest, or the best.
Key Points
Superlatives describe the most or least among things. Structure: 'the' + adjective + 'est' (e.g., tallest). Use 'the most' or 'the least' if the adjective is long, like 'beautiful'. Key rule: Add 'the' before the adjective.
Examples
- He is the tallest.
- This is the best cake.
- She is the happiest.
- It is the smallest dog.
- That is the longest pencil.
- He is the oldest in the class.
- This is the most interesting book.
- She is the least tired kid.
Memory Tips

Summary
