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.
- fast → faster
- high → higher
- Adverbs with two or more syllables: Use “more”.
- carefully → more carefully
- quickly → more 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.
- fast → fastest
- high → highest
- Adverbs with two or more syllables: Use “most”.
- carefully → most carefully
- quickly → most quickly
Sentence Examples:
- “Out of all the students, she runs the fastest.”
- “He completes his homework the most carefully.”
