Soru:
Complete the sentence with the correct comparative or superlative form of the adjective in parentheses:
"The cheetah is ________ (fast) land animal in the world, but the peregrine falcon is ________ (fast) animal overall."
Çözüm:
💡 We need to compare the speed of animals. Let's break it down step by step.
- ➡️ First part: "land animal in the world" – This specifies a group, so we need the superlative form (the fastest).
- ➡️ Second part: We are comparing the peregrine falcon's speed to the cheetah's (and all others), implying it is above all others in a broader category. This also requires the superlative form (the fastest).
- ➡️ The adjective is "fast". The rules are: one-syllable adjective -> add -est for the superlative. So, fast -> the fastest.
✅ The completed sentence is: "The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, but the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal overall."
