If an adjective follows the noun it qualifies, the superlative form repeats the definite artivle: la maison la plus solide, le livre le plus ennuyeux, les moins travailleurs. If an adjective comes before the noun, only one definite article is required: la plus jolie maison, adjectives are places before the noun: (bags) grand, vieux, bon, long, beau, autre, petit, nouveau, mauvais, joli, jeune.
