Now double the consonant if the adjective has only one syllable finishing in a consonant and one vowel. ADJECTIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE hot Hotter than The hottest fat Fatter than The fastest sad Sadder than The saddest For the adjectives which finish in “W”, “X” add “ER” and “EST” to the comparatives and superlatives respectively.
