Superlatif

Le superlatif est une manière  de montrer que quelque chose/quelqu'un est unique en son genre.
Ex: L'Amazone est la plus longue rivière du monde.

Avec un adjectif court => 

 il suffit de mettre 'the', l'adjectif avec -EST à la fin . ( the + adjectif + -est )

 ex: The Amazone is the longest river in the world .

Avec un adjectif long => 

 Il faut mettre 'the' , 'most' et l'adjectif . ( the + most + adjectif )

 ex: New York is the most famous city in the USA .

Pour dire le moins: Il faut mettre the least+adjectif
