One-syllable Adjectives
Usually, the ending er/est is simply added to the positive

form of the adjective. For example: fast - faster strong - stronger
tall - tallest young - youngest
When an adjective ends in a silent e, the silent e is dropped before the ending er/est is added.
e.g.: brave - braver - bravest
close - closer - closest
late - later - latest

When an adjective ends in y preceded by a consonant, the

y is changed to i before the ending er/est is added.
e.g.: dry - drier-driest; easy - easier-easiest
When an adjective ends in a CVC and the last consonant is other than w, x or y or a double vowel - we double the final consonant before adding er/est is added.
e.g.: big - bigger-biggest (hot - hotter sad - saddest
but:
e.g.: loud - louder; neat - neater; soon - sooner
