In Grammar 1-1, we looked at various ways to use adjectives. As you know, adjectives also have comparative and superlative forms.
Comparative
- Grammar is more difficult than vocabulary.
- Do you really think family is not as important as friends?
- My hometown is a lot warmer in the summer than it is in the winter.
Superlative
- The best part of my old English school was definitely my classmates; they were so fun!
- She’s easily the most qualified person for the job, but I heard she is going back to school.
- I bought my new computer online; I chose the one with the most positive review.
In this lesson, we’ll be looking at some different structures that can be used with superlative forms.
Superlative Adjectives with the Present Perfect
Using present perfect verb forms with superlative adjectives allows us to talk about experiences in an emphatic way.
- That was the longest meeting I have been to this year! What a waste of time!
- Zane told us that durian is the strangest fruit he has eaten. He tried it in Thailand.
- She’s the most helpful person I have met since moving here.
