Put the adjective in brackets in the correct comparative or superlative

1. It was the hottest day or the year.

 Adjectives have three degrees of comparison. They are Positive, Comparative, Superlative. We form these degrees with the help of the suffixes (- er, - est) and with the help of the words (more, the most). We use words when adjectives have three or more syllables.

We use the suffixes er and est when adjective have one or two syllables. Hot is a one syllable adjective. So we use the suffixes.

Hot hotter the hottest.

We use definite article with Superlative degree.

When there is one consonant at the end of word we double the consonant.
