We add -est to one-syllable adjectives to make the superlative form .
eg cold¨ colder¨coldest.
If a one or two-syllable adjective ends in -y, we change the y to an i before adding -est .

If an adjective ends in -e, we just add -st.
eg large¨larger¨largest
If a one-syllable adjective ends in a vowel + one consonant, we double the final consonant before adding -est.

Some adjectives are irregular.
