Let's solve the worksheet step by step and explain each part.
---
1. Complete the table with the superlative form of the adjectives.
We need to convert regular adjectives into their
superlative forms.
| Adjective | Superlative |
|-------------|--------------------|
| Light |
lightest |
| Big |
biggest |
| Tall |
tallest |
| Beautiful |
most beautiful |
| Good |
best |
| Hot |
hottest |
| Happy |
happiest |
| Expensive |
most expensive |
####
✔ Explanation:
- For
one-syllable adjectives (e.g., *light*, *big*, *tall*, *hot*): add
-est.
- Example: *light → lightest*
- For
two-syllable adjectives ending in
-y, change
-y to
-iest.
- Example: *happy → happiest*
- For
two-syllable adjectives that don't end in
-y, or for
longer adjectives, use
"most" + adjective.
- Example: *beautiful → most beautiful*, *expensive → most expensive*
- Special cases:
- *Good* →
best (irregular)
- *Happy* →
happiest (ends in -y, so -iest)

2. Write the superlative form of the adjectives in brackets.
We are given a sentence and an adjective in parentheses. We must use the
correct superlative form.
1.
February is ____________ month of the year. (short)
→ February is the
shortest month of the year.
✔ "Short" →
shortest (one syllable, add -est)
2.
Elephants are ____________ land animal. (heavy)
→ Elephants are the
heaviest land animal.
✔ "Heavy" →
heaviest (one syllable, add -est)
3.
I think science is ____________ subject. (interesting)
→ I think science is the
most interesting subject.
✔ "Interesting" has more than two syllables → use
most interesting
4.
Alex is ____________ singer in our school. (good)
→ Alex is the
best singer in our school.
✔ "Good" →
best (irregular superlative)
---
3. Choose the correct Superlative.
Now we have sentences with blanks — choose the correct superlative form.
1.
The cheetah is ____________ animal in the world.
→ The cheetah is the
fastest animal in the world.
✔ "Fast" →
fastest (one syllable, add -est)
2.
He's ____________ man I know.
→ He's the
kindest man I know.
✔ "Kind" →
kindest (one syllable, add -est)
*(Note: This is a common expression; you could also say "the best", but "kindest" fits better contextually unless specified.)*
3.
December is ____________ month of the year in my country.
→ December is the
coldest month of the year in my country.
✔ "Cold" →
coldest (one syllable, add -est)
*(Or possibly "hottest" depending on climate, but since it’s about "in my country", we assume cold weather. "Coldest" is standard here.)*
