Hi Vireak! A "short" word usually has 1 syllable (like fast, big). A "long" word has 2 or more syllables (like beau-ti-ful). Just clap when you say it to count the syllables! 👏
What about the word "Good"? Is it "the goodest"?
Ah! "Good" is an irregular adjective. It completely changes its shape. We will learn about irregular adjectives in the next lesson, but just so you know, it becomes "The best"! 🌟
Why do we put "the" in front? Can I just say "He is tallest"?
No, you must always use "the"! Because there is only ONE person who is number 1, "the" shows that they are specific and unique. 🥇
How do I know if a word is short or long?
