Firstly, can you understand these sentences, all using Spanish superlatives?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mi hermana es la m\u00e1s estudiosa de su clase.<br \/>\nCarmina se ha comprado los zapatos m\u00e1s caros de la tienda.<br \/>\nPablo es el m\u00e1s alto de sus amigos.<br \/>\nSoraya y Lola son las chicas m\u00e1s simp\u00e1ticas que conozco.<br \/>\nMiguel tiene el perro m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o que he visto en mi vida.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, let\u00b4s translate the following sentences from English to Spanish using the superlatives \u201cbest\u201d (mejor\/mejores) and \u201cworst\u201d (peor\/peores):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You are the best (talking to a man in a friendly way).<br \/>\nThis book is the worst I have read.<br \/>\nMarta has the best room of the hotel.<br \/>\nAntonio Banderas is the best Spanish actor.<br \/>\nMy mother is the best cook of the family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now I will say a few sentences using \u201cmuy\u201d and you have to change this word for one of the expressions introduced in the original theory video lesson. For example, if I say \u201cEste libro es muy interesante\u201d you could say \u201ceste libro es la mar de interesante\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mis amigas son muy divertidas.<br \/>\nSonia tiene un gato muy gracioso.<br \/>\nMi marido es muy rom\u00e1ntico.<br \/>\nMis hijas son muy cari\u00f1osas.<br \/>\nLos hijos de Carmen son muy habladores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Let\u00b4s practice now Spanish superlative sufixes. I will give you an adjective and you should put the sufix on it. For example, if I say \u201cbueno\u201d you should say \u201cbuen\u00edsimo\u201d. Keep in mind that there are some irregular suffixes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Caro<br \/>\nGrande<br \/>\nInteresante<br \/>\nDivertido<br \/>\nBarato<br \/>\nLimpio<br \/>\nNuevo<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, we will practice some Spanish prefixes which mean \u201cvery\u201d. I will give you an adjective and you should put the prefix on it. For example, if I say \u201cbueno\u201d you should say \u201crequetebueno\u201d or \u201csuperbueno\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sucio<br \/>\nRico<br \/>\nFeliz<br \/>\nContento<br \/>\nCansado<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, pues ya hemos terminado la clase pr\u00e1ctica de hoy.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed practicing using Spanish superlatives. Try to use them whenever you have the chance when you are talking with Spanish speakers. The more you use them, the easier they will roll off the tongue.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Hasta pronto!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
