For Words that end in a vowel + consonant

Double the last consonant and add –er

Big ====> Bigger
Thin ====> Thinner
Hot ====> Hotter

For Words that end in consonant + y
Remove -y and add -ier

Easy ====> Easier
Busy ====> Busier
Happy ====>Happier

For Words with 3+ syllables (long adjectives )
Add “more” before the adjective:
Expensive ======> more expensive
Popular ======> more popular
