Use adverbs to compare

Key Notes :

1. Understanding Adverbs

  • Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
  • They often describe how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

2. Comparative Adverbs

  • Comparative adverbs are used to compare the actions of two subjects.
  • To form a comparative adverb, we often add -er or use “more” before the adverb.

Examples:

  • One-syllable adverbs: Add -er.
  • fastfaster
  • highhigher
  • Adverbs with two or more syllables: Use “more”.
  • carefullymore carefully
  • quicklymore quickly

Sentence Examples:

  • “She runs faster than her brother.”
  • “He works more carefully than anyone else in the class.”

3. Superlative Adverbs

  • Superlative adverbs are used to compare the actions of three or more subjects.
  • To form a superlative adverb, we often add -est or use “most” before the adverb.

Examples:

  • One-syllable adverbs: Add -est.
  • fastfastest
  • highhighest
  • Adverbs with two or more syllables: Use “most”.
  • carefullymost carefully
  • quicklymost quickly
