GRAMMAR REVIEW! Comparative & superlative adverbs

Comparative adverbs are used to compare two actions.

For short adverbs (usually one syllable): add -er
fast → faster
hard → harder

For most adverbs ending in -ly: use more + adverb
quickly → more quickly
carefully → more carefully

Examples:
She runs faster than her brother.
He worked more efficiently than his teammate.

Superlative adverbs show that something is done to the greatest or least degree among three or more actions or people.

For short adverbs: add -est
fast → fastest
hard → hardest

For most -ly adverbs: use most + adverb
quickly → most quickly
carefully → most carefully

Examples:
She ran fastest of all the runners.
He answered the questions most accurately.

Tips: Not all adverbs follow regular patterns. Irregular examples include:
well → better → best
badly → worse → worst
far → farther/further → farthest/furthest
