Further practice on the comparison of Adverbs:

1. Further practice on the comparison of Adverbs:

• Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.
• Adverbs can be compared to show different degrees of intensity or quality.
• To compare adverbs, we use the positive, comparative and superlative forms.
• The positive form is the base form of the adverb, e.g. quickly.
• The comparative form is used to compare two things and ends in -er, e.g. more quickly.
• The superlative form is used to compare three or more things and ends in -est, e.g. most quickly.

2. The positive, Comparative and Superlative of regular adverbs:

• Regular adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the adjective, e.g. quick becomes quickly.
• To form the comparative of regular adverbs, add -er to the end of the adverb, e.g. quickly becomes more quickly.
• To form the superlative of regular adverbs, add -est to the end of the adverb, e.g. quickly becomes most quickly.

3. The positive, Comparative and Superlative of irregular adverbs:

• Irregular adverbs don’t follow the usual -ly pattern, e.g. well, fast, hard.
• To form the comparative of irregular adverbs, we use the word more before the adverb, e.g. more well, more fast, more hard.
• To form the superlative of irregular adverbs, we use the word most before the adverb, e.g. most well, most fast, most hard.
• Note that some irregular adverbs have completely different forms for the comparative and superlative, e.g. better, worse

Some common regular adverbs that end with -ly:
