I am going to draw three column on the board and explain how superlative form of adjective is formed and write more examples to clarify the taarget language• One syllable words - add “est” to the word. Remember that it is sometimes necessary to double the final consonant. Examples are: tall to tallest and big to biggest. • Two and three syllable words - use “most” or “least.” Examples include most difficult and least expensive. If information below would be unclear to students • (One syllable words ending with an “e” - only add “st” like fine to finest or rare to rarest.) • (Two-syllable words ending with a “y” - change the “y” to an “i” and add “est.” Two examples are crazy to craziest and silly to silliest. ) 1. then after a comparative is pronounced with a schwa in connected speech. “He is taller than me”: /tɔːlə ðən/. 2. as when talking about equality (or inequality) is pronounced with a schwa: “He’s not as tall as me”: /əz tɔːl əz/.
