er and
est are added to adjectives or describing words to compare things.

Remember:
The suffix
er should be used when you are comparing two things.

The suffix
est should be used when you are comparing more than two things.
- English is the hardest subject in School.

y (happy), the y is replaced with i, before adding the suffix
est.

For one-syllable words - fat - the end is repeated Fattest
- That is the fattest bird I have ever seen.
