consonant

Some adjectives need to add an extra letter when adding ‘er’ !
slim + er slim
flat + er flat er
er

the same consonant again before adding ‘er’.

Have a go at adding ‘er’ to these words
fat + er fat
hot + er hot er
ert

thin + er thinn er
Beware! There are a few exceptions to this rule. If the consonant is a ‘w’ you do not add an extra consonant!

• Most words just add ‘er’ or ‘est’.
• Words ending in e … drop the e before adding ‘er’ or ‘est’.
• Words ending in y… change the y into an i before adding ‘er’ or ‘est’.
• Words that end with one vowel and one consonant need a double letter
before adding ‘er’ or ‘est’.
There can be some exceptions!
