1. Le superlatif
Like “Superlatives” in your yearbook, the superlative in French is
used to point out the most/least/best/worst of something.
This classroom is bigger than the one we used last semester. =
comparative
This is the biggest classroom. = superlative
She speaks the best. = superlative
Don’t forget that French adjectives agree in gender and number with
the nouns they modify!

2. Le superlatif...
(1) ADJECTIVES THAT COME AFTER THE NOUN: C’est
la salle de classe la plus populaire. = definite article (la) +
noun (salle de classe) + definite article (la) + comparative
word (plus) + adjective (populaire).
(2) ADJECTIVES THAT COME BEFORE THE NOUN:
C’est la plus grande salle de classe. = definite article (la) +
comparative word (plus) + adjective (grande) noun (salle
de classe) .
(3) NOUN ALREADY MENTIONED: Ce livre est le plus
difficile. = definite article (le) + comparative word (plus) +
adjective (difficile)

3. Le superlatif
PRACTICE: How would we say: “the smallest
classroom”?
PRACTICE: How would we say: “the tallest
student”?
PRACTICE: How would we say “the strangest
car”? (Hint: bizarre)
PRACTICE: How would we say “She speaks the
fastest”?

4. Le superlatif...
Don’t forget that:
bon (good) --> meilleur (better)
bien (well) --> mieux (best)
mauvais (bad) --> pire (worse)
C’est la meilleure classe de français. Ce sont
les étudiants qui parlent le mieux. C’est la pire
