What's The Best
Superlative Form
The superlative form is used when speaking about more than two objects to express which is either the most or the least of some characteristic.
Example:
The interest earned was the largest amount I have seen so far for this client.
This is the most appropriate time to endorse.
Ms. Jones is the most effective customer service representative we have.
One Syllable Adjectives
Place 'the' before the adjective. Add '-est' to the end of the adjective. If the word ends in a consonant proceeded by a consonant vowel combination, double the consonant. For example: hot -> the hottest
Example:
What is the highest point on the tax base?
That's the strangest figure I've ever seen come out of a balance sheet consolidation.
Two + Syllable Adjectives
Place 'the most' before the adjective. To express the opposite, place 'the least' before the adjective.
Example:
Ms. Jones is the most effective customer service representative we have.
This is the most appropriate time to endorse.
Adjectives Ending in '-y'
Place 'the' before the adjective. Remove the 'y' from the adjective and add '-iest'. To express the opposite sentiment, place 'the least' before the adjective. Notice that the change only occurs in a positive sense.
Example:
John is the happiest person I know.
That's the funniest thing I have ever heard.
