Introduction

When learning a new language, it’s important to understand how to ask questions with superlative adjectives. Superlative adjectives allow us to compare three or more things and determine which one has the highest quality or degree. In this article, we will explore how to form and ask superlative adjective questions in Spanish.

Basic Structure

To ask a superlative adjective question in Spanish, you will typically use the following structure: ¿Cuál/Qué + ser + el/la/los/las + superlative adjective + noun? Here, “cuál” and “qué” can both be used to mean “which” in English. However, “cuál” is used when there is a limited number of options, while “qué” is used when the options are unlimited.

Let’s take a look at some examples of superlative adjective questions in Spanish: 1. ¿Cuál es el libro más interesante? – Which is the most interesting book? 2. ¿Qué es el restaurante más cercano? – What is the closest restaurant? 3. ¿Cuál es el coche más rápido? – Which is the fastest car? 4. ¿Qué es el país más grande? – What is the largest country?

Exceptions

In some cases, superlative adjectives can have irregular forms in Spanish. Here are a few exceptions to keep in mind: 1. Bueno/a (good) becomes el/la mejor (the best): – ¿Cuál es el mejor jugador de fútbol? (Which is the best soccer player?) 2. Malo/a (bad) becomes el/la peor (the worst): – ¿Qué es la peor película que has visto? (What is the worst movie you’ve seen?) 3. Joven (young) becomes el/la más joven (the youngest): – ¿Cuál es el autor más joven? (Who is the youngest author?)

Using Superlative Adjectives in Responses
