Get ready for the monsters learn english show
hello hello and welcome to the monsters learn english show today's topic is superlatives
before we begin does anyone have a pin these balloons
are getting larger and larger and the blue one is the largest I've ever seen
i need to pop it before it gets too big anyone anyone hey who likes jokes yeah knock knock
cold colder
cold colder coldest the band everyone anyway superlatives are words we can
use when describing three or more things for example here are three words silly
funny and ridiculous silly and funny are both long words but ridiculous is the longest word
when comparing three or more things we often add an e s t to the end of a word to make a new word
and this new word with the e s t means it has the most of the quality that you are comparing okay
let's compare again all of these tiny robots are near to the pizza but the purple tiny robot is the
near banana no are you sure all right i need to add an e-s-t okay how about all of these tiny
robots are near to the pizza but the purple tiny robot is the near banana est okay okay
how about all of these tiny robots are near to the pizza but the purple tiny robot is the
nearest yay one more thing with superlatives if a word has a y at the end we change the y
to an i and then add e s for example the robots are angry but the red robot is the angry est
it's okay robots there's enough pizza for everyone oh great the balloons are still
growing now the red one is the biggest they are getting too big who has a pin to pop them anyone
the band everybody okay now it's time for a word from our sponsor irregular adjectives
irregular adjectives don't follow the rules when comparing three or more things and using
an irregular adjective do not add e-s-t for example the word far doesn't change too far east
it changes to furthest the word less doesn't change to lessest it changes to least irregular
adjectives an important part of making english confusing for everyone
did you know that some other superlatives also don't use e-s-t some words especially longer words
use the word most before them instead of adding an e-s-t at the end for example we would not
say popular est we would say the most popular another example we would not say wonderfulest
we would say the most wonderful okay it's time for news about me
