Which word is typically used to express the superlative 'most' in Spanish?
más
menos
muy
bastante
The word 'más' is used to form superlative expressions such as 'el más alto,' meaning 'the tallest.' The other options do not convey a superlative meaning.
What is the proper definite article to use with a superlative adjective modifying a feminine noun?
la
el
los
un
For a feminine noun, the appropriate definite article is 'la', as seen in phrases like 'la más bonita.' The other articles fail to match the gender of the noun.
Identify the correctly formed relative superlative for 'pequeño' when referring to a masculine noun.
el más pequeño
el pequeñísimo
el menos pequeño
el pequeño
The correct relative superlative form is 'el más pequeño,' indicating the extreme degree among a group. The other options either represent an absolute superlative, a comparative, or do not express a superlative at all.
Which sentence uses a superlative correctly?
María es la más inteligente de la clase.
Juan es más alto que Pedro.
El perro corre rápido.
El libro es interesante.
Option A correctly employs the relative superlative to indicate that María is the smartest within her class. The other sentences either use a comparative form or do not use any superlative construction.
What is the Spanish superlative form for 'bueno'?
el bueno
el mejor
el más bueno
buenísimo
The adjective 'bueno' forms its irregular superlative as 'el mejor,' which means 'the best.' While 'buenísimo' is an absolute superlative, the standard relative superlative is 'el mejor.'
How do you form the relative superlative of an adjective in Spanish?
By adding 'más' before the adjective
By adding '-ísimo' to the adjective
By using the comparative form
By placing 'muy' before the adjective
The relative superlative is formed with the structure 'el/la/los/las + más/menos + adjective.' This method distinguishes the highest or lowest degree within a group. The other options do not produce a relative superlative.
Which structure correctly forms a relative superlative phrase in Spanish?
Definite article + más/menos + adjective + noun
Más/menos + adjective + definite article + noun
Noun + definite article + más/menos + adjective
Adjective + más/menos + noun
The proper order is to place the definite article first, followed by 'más' or 'menos,' then the adjective and finally the noun. This order is essential to correctly indicate the superlative relationship.
Which sentence needs correction regarding superlative agreement?
La más alto edificio se derrumbó.
El más alto edificio se derrumbó.
Los más altos árboles adornan el parque.
Las más altas montañas son imponentes.
The sentence 'La más alto edificio se derrumbó.' is incorrect because the masculine noun 'edificio' requires the masculine article 'el' and adjective 'alto.' The correct sentence is 'El más alto edificio se derrumbó.'
Which adjective has an irregular superlative form in Spanish?
Bueno
Rápido
Alto
Grande
The adjective 'bueno' forms its superlative irregularly as 'el mejor.' The other adjectives regularly form their superlative phrases by combining the definite article with 'más' or by adding '-ísimo' for absolute emphasis.
How would you form the superlative of 'fácil' in Spanish?
el más fácil
el facilísimo
el menos fácil
el facilitar
The standard relative superlative for 'fácil' is 'el más fácil,' which indicates the highest degree within a set. Using '-ísimo' would create an absolute superlative, which is not the typical comparison format.
In the phrase 'María es la más inteligente de la clase', what does the superlative phrase specify?
That María possesses the highest level of intelligence within her class.
That María is more intelligent than all other students in any class.
That María is intelligent, but not necessarily the most intelligent.
That María is intelligent only compared to her friends.
The construction 'la más inteligente de la clase' indicates that María stands out as the most intelligent among her classmates. The comparison is limited specifically to her class.
Which of the following sentences uses the absolute superlative (-ísimo) correctly to intensify an adjective?
El libro es interesantísimo.
El libro es el más interesante.
El libro es interesantísimo más.
El libro es muy interesante.
Option A correctly applies the absolute superlative by adding '-ísimo' to 'interesante' to intensify the adjective. The other options either use the relative superlative or incorrect formations.
What error is present in the sentence: 'El más hermosa pintura se expuso en el museo'?
The article and adjective do not agree in gender.
The adjective should be placed before the noun.
The superlative form should use 'menos' instead of 'más'.
There is no error in the sentence.
The sentence incorrectly pairs the masculine article 'El' with the feminine adjective 'hermosa' for the noun 'pintura.' Correct agreement requires 'La más hermosa pintura.'
When forming a superlative in Spanish, why is the definite article necessary?
It indicates the specific group being compared.
To make the sentence sound more formal.
The article is optional in superlative constructs.
It emphasizes the degree of the adjective.
The definite article is required to specify the group within which the comparison is being made. This clearly defines the set to which the superlative applies.
Which of these phrases correctly employs the superlative to indicate 'the smallest' in Spanish?
el más pequeño
el pequeñísimo
el menos pequeño
el pequeño
The relative superlative 'el más pequeño' properly indicates 'the smallest' among a group. The other options either represent an absolute superlative, a comparative, or simply a descriptive form.
Select the sentence that correctly distinguishes between relative and absolute superlative forms in Spanish.
El profesor es el más estricto de la escuela, y su crítica es severísima.
El profesor es estricto y severísimo.
El profesor es el más severísimo de la escuela.
El profesor es más estricto y más severo.
Option A uses the relative superlative 'el más estricto de la escuela' to compare within a group and the absolute superlative 'severísima' to intensify the adjective. The other options either mix forms improperly or use incorrect structures.
Which of the following sentences incorrectly applies the irregular superlative form in Spanish?
Ella es la mejor deportista de la escuela.
Él es el peor cantante del grupo.
Ellos son el más malos de todos.
Ustedes son los más talentosos en la competencia.
Option C is incorrect because it uses a singular article with a plural subject and employs 'más malos' when the correct irregular superlative for 'malo' should be 'los peores.' The other sentences correctly apply their irregular forms.
When combining multiple adjectives in a superlative construction, which structure is grammatically correct in Spanish?
Ella es la más amable y la más inteligente de la escuela.
Ella es la amable y la inteligentísima de la escuela.
Ella es más amable y más inteligente de la escuela.
Ella es la más amable y la inteligentísima de la escuela.
Option A maintains consistency by using the relative superlative with the appropriate definite article for both adjectives. The other options either mix different superlative forms or lack necessary elements.
What is the mistake in the sentence: 'Esta es la más mejor y la más bonita de todas las flores'?
The error is the redundant use of 'más' with 'mejor'.
The error is the lack of a preposition before 'todas'.
The error is in the gender agreement of the adjectives.
The error is the placement of the adjectives after the noun.
The phrase 'más mejor' is redundant since 'mejor' is already an irregular superlative form of 'bueno.' The sentence should simply read 'la mejor' without the extra 'más.'
Which option best combines an intensifier with a clear comparative group in Spanish without redundancy?
Ella es, sin lugar a dudas, la más dedicada de su equipo.
Ella es, sin lugar a dudas, la más dedicadísima de su equipo.
Ella es, sin duda, la muy dedicada de su equipo.
Ella es, sin duda, la dedicada del equipo.
Option A correctly uses an intensifier at the beginning and the relative superlative form to clearly denote that she is the most dedicated within her team without any redundant elements. The other choices either overemphasize or fail to combine the elements correctly.
