Answer 1

And the "el" and "la" would match what being described. So "Oswald is the tallest" would be "Oswald es el mas alto" and Paquita would "la mas alta."

Answer 2

large = grande

larger = más grande

(the) largest = el más grande

Adjectives - comparatives and superlatives always follow the gender of what is being described.

Examples.

She is the smallest girl in the class. Ella es la niña más pequeña de la clase.

He is the biggest boy in the class. Él es el chico más grande de la clase.

John is smaller than than Jack. John es más pequeño que Jack.

She is smaller than Jack. Ella es más pequeña que Jack.
