Sandra Bullock Named People Magazine’s Most Beautiful. Read and Practice Superlatives

Posted on Apr 25 2015 - 11:00am by PopESL

People Magazine has spoken and declared Sandra Bullock the world’s most beautiful woman of 2015.

Bullock, 50, is part of a long list of actresses to receive the honor, including last year’s winner, Lupita Nyong’o, and Gwyneth Paltrow in 2013.

She seems to be taking it all in stride and reportedly called the whole thing “ridiculous.”

“Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that,’ ” she told People. “No, be a good person; be a good mom; do a good job with the lunch; let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying.”

Well said, Sandra, and we agree. She is definitely beautiful inside and out.

“Most beautiful” is the superlative form of the adjective. Here’s the scoop on superlatives:

Superlative adjectives describe or compare a subject in a group that has the most or least of a quality.

They are formed like this:

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

For one-syllable adjectives, add  est for the superlative.

  • She is the coolest girl in school.

For Adjectives with two syllables ending in y, change the y to an i before adding iest.

  • She is the prettiest girl I know.

For Adjectives with 2 syllables (that don’t end in -y) or more (3 syllables, 4 syllables, etc.), add the most before the adjective.

  • She is the most athletic girl on the team.

There are some irregular superlatives that are very common.

  • good = best
  • little = least
  • much = most
  • bad = worst
  • far = farthest
  • She is the best student.
  • She is the worst player on the team.
  • He ran the farthest distance.

Now let’s practice.

Change the adjective to its superlative form. Good Luck!

happy
cool
amazing
ugly
crazy
popular
green
far
talented
good
