the -est・the most …
最高級
Superlatives — English grammar, junior high
接續
the + 形容詞-est(the tallest)・the most + 長形容詞(the most popular)・不規則:the best、the worst 常接 in + 地方/團體、of + 複數
the + adjective-est (the tallest) · the most + long adjective (the most popular) · irregular: the best, the worst · often in + place / group, of + plural
說明
三個以上比較、說「最…」用最高級,前面要有 the:He is the tallest boy in our class.(他是我們班最高的男生。)This is the most beautiful beach in Taiwan.
Use the superlative, with the, for “the most” among three or more: He is the tallest boy in our class, This is the most beautiful beach in Taiwan.
注意事項
- 範圍是地方或團體用 in(in the world),是一群人或東西用 of(of the three)。Use in with a place or group (in the world), of with a set of people or things (of the three).
常見錯誤
- ✗ She is most smart student.
✓ She is the smartest student.
smart 是短形容詞加 -est,而且要有 the。smart takes -est, and you need the. - ✗ It's the better day of my life.
✓ It's the best day of my life.
最高級是 best。The superlative is best.
