5. For the clauses of more than two syllables we use the word "most" plus the adjective in its original form. example: happy- the most expensive.
6. The present perfect of any verb is composed of two elements: the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb to have (present) and the "past participle" of the main verb. The form of the "past participle" of a regular verb is root + ed, e.g. Played, arrived, looked. As for irregular verbs, see the table of irregular verbs in the 'Verbs' section.
