There are hundreds of grammar rules but the basic ones refer to sentence structure and parts of speech, which are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition and conjunction. Let’s look at the way sentences are put together and the words that form them.

Unit 104
Superlatives the longest, the most enjoyable etc.
(a) Рассмотрим примеры:
What is the longest river the world?
What was the most enjoyable holiday you've ever had?
Longest и most enjoyable это формы превосходной степени.
(b) Для образования превосходной степени
прилагательных и наречий применяют est или
most .... Обычно употребляют est для коротких
слов и most ... для более длинных.
(Правила такие же, как и для сравнительной
степени см. Unit 101.)
Например:
long/longest hot/hottest easy/easiest hard/hardest
но: most famous most boring most difficult most expensive
Орфографические правила см. Appendix 3.
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year.
That was the most boring film I've ever seen. `Why did you stay at that hotel?' `It was the cheapest we could find.'
She is a really nice person one of the nicest people I know.
Запомните неправильные формы превосходной
степени best и worst:
That was a delicious meal. It's one of the best I've ever had.
Why does he always come to see me at the worst possible moment?
Не забудьте, обычно мы ставим артикль the
с превосходной степенью:
`the best', `the most boring' и т.д.
(c) Oldest и eldest
Превосходная степень от old это oldest:
That house over there is the oldest building in the town.
Мы употребляем слово eldest, когда говорим
о членах одной семьи:
My eldest son is 13 years old.
Are you the eldest in your family?
(d) После прилагательных в превосходной степени,говоря о местоположении (города, здания и т.д.),
употребляют предлог in:
What's the longest river in the world? (но не `of the world')
We were lucky to have one of the nicest rooms in the hotel.
Аналогично:(the best..) in the class/in the team/in the company и т.д.
Однако: the happiest day of my life, the hottest day of the year.
Отметьте, мы часто употребляем present perfect
(I have done) после прилагатель ных в превосходной
степени. (см. Unit 14a):
What's the best film you've ever seen?
That was the most delicious meal I've had for a long time.
(e) Иногда мы говорим most + прилагательное
(без `the'), что имеет значение very:
The book you lent me was most interesting. (= very interesting)
Thank you for the money. It was most generous of you. (= very
generous)
