1 GRAMMAR superlatives (+ ever + present perfect)
a Complete the sentences with the
superlative of an adjective from the box.​

This activity is about using superlatives in sentences with the addition of "ever" and the present perfect tense. Let's work through it step by step.

First, let's take a look at the picture provided. We have a box with different adjectives:

- popular
- delicious
- beautiful
- interesting
- relaxing

Now, we need to use the superlative form of these adjectives to complete the given sentences. Superlatives are used to describe something that has the highest degree of a certain quality. For example, if we have three friends and one of them is the tallest, we would use the superlative form to say "He is the tallest."

Let's go through each sentence one by one:

1. Mount Everest is the __________ mountain in the world. (tall)
    We need to find the superlative form of the adjective "tall." It would change to "tallest." So the sentence becomes "Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world."

2. That was the __________ meal I have ever eaten. (delicious)
    Using the adjective "delicious," we need to find its superlative form. It becomes "the most delicious." So the sentence becomes "That was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten."

3. The Grand Canyon is the __________ place I have ever visited. (beautiful)
    Applying the adjective "beautiful" to its superlative form, it becomes "the most beautiful." So the sentence becomes "The Grand Canyon is the most beautiful place I have ever visited."

4. Harry Potter is the __________ book I have ever read. (interesting)
    The adjective "interesting" becomes "the most interesting" in its superlative form. Thus, the sentence becomes "Harry Potter is the most interesting book I have ever read."

5. The beach is the __________ place to relax. (relaxing)
    The superlative form of the adjective "relaxing" is simply "the most relaxing." So the sentence becomes "The beach is the most relaxing place to relax."

To summarize, the completed sentences are:

1. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world.
2. That was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten.
3. The Grand Canyon is the most beautiful place I have ever visited.
4. Harry Potter is the most interesting book I have ever read.
5. The beach is the most relaxing place to relax.

Remember, superlatives are used to describe something that has the highest degree of a certain quality. When we add "ever" and the present perfect tense to the sentence, it emphasizes that it is the highest or the most extreme experience we have had. I hope this explanation helps you understand how to use superlatives with the present perfect tense and "ever." Let me know if you have any more questions!
