Use the before the adjective.
Often, the expressions
among or of the are use
after the adjective.
 Some adjectives have only one
syllable, end with a consonant,
and have a single vowel before
the consonant. With these
adjectives, double the last
letter before adding -er to
form the comparative, and -est
to form the superlative.
For example:
big - bigger - biggest
dim - dimmer - dimmest
mad - madder - maddest
sad - sadder - saddest
