Separate three or more adjectives in a row with a comma whether or not the word "and" in used. Add -er at the end of most one-syllable adjectives to form the comparative. For two-syllable words ending in y, change the y to i and add -er. (happy->happier) For short words ending in e, simply add -r (wide->wider) For short words with consonant/vowel/consonant (CVC) pattern, double the final consonant before adding -er. (hot->hotter)
