Form and use comparative and superlative adverbs
Key Notes:
🌟 Form and Use Comparative and Superlative Adverbs 🌟
🔹 What are Adverbs? |
👉 Adverbs tell us how, when, or where an action happens.
Example:
- She runs quickly. 🏃♀️💨
- He sings beautifully. 🎤🎶
🔹 Comparative Adverbs (Compare TWO actions) ✌️ |
We use them to show more or less of an action.
- Form: add -er or use more/less + adverb
Examples: - She runs faster than her friend. 🏃♀️➡️🏃♂️
- He spoke more politely than yesterday. 🤵💬
🔹 Superlative Adverbs (Compare THREE or more actions) ✨ |
We use them to show the highest or lowest degree.
- Form: add -est or use most/least + adverb
Examples: - Of all the players, Riya runs fastest. 🏆
- She answered most confidently in class. 🏅🎓
🔹 Rules 📘 |
One-syllable adverbs → add -er / -est
- fast → faster → fastest
Adverbs ending in -ly → use more / most
- quickly → more quickly → most quickly
Irregular adverbs 🚨
- well → better → best
- badly → worse → worst
- far → farther/further → farthest/furthest
🌈 Quick Examples: |
- Today she danced better than yesterday. 💃
- Among all, he drove worst in the race. 🚗💥
- The bird flew higher than the kite. 🐦🪁
- This student wrote most neatly in the test. ✍️📄
