3. What Are
Comparative
Adverbs?
You use them when you want to
compare two people, places, or things.
Rule 1 ends in -ly, more is put in front of the adverb.
For example:-
"After her poor test results, Jill did her homework more
frequently.“
Rule 2 add the suffix -er to the end.
For example:-
"Jack did his homework faster."
exceptions to this rule:
'well' becomes 'better'
'badly' becomes 'worse'
'little' becomes 'less‘
!Note - When comparing things you need to
put than between the adverb and what is being compared.
For example:-
"Jack did his homework faster than Jill."
What Are
Comparative
Adjectives?
Comparative adjectives are used to
show what quality one thing has more
or less than the other. They normally
come before any other adjectives.
Rule: Words of one syllable ending in 'e'.
Add -r to the end of the word.
For example wide – wider
Rule: Double the consonant and add -er to the end of the
word..
For example big - bigger
Rule: Words of one syllable, with more than one vowel or
more than one consonant at the end. Add - er to the end of
the word.
For example high – higher
Rule: Words of two syllables, ending in 'y'. Change 'y' to 'i',
and add -er to the end of the word
For example happy – happier
Rule: Words of two syllables or more, not ending in 'y'. Place
'more' before the adjective
For example beautiful - more beautiful

4. What Are
Superlative
Adverbs?
Rule 1 The rules for forming superlative
adverbs are rather straightforward. If the
adverb has the same form as a one-syllable
adjective simply add the suffix –est to the
end of the word.
For example Barry slept the longest
Rule 2 Just as with forming superlative
adjectives, if the adverb ends with a “y”
then change the “y” to “i” and then add –
est..
For example:-
Kyle and Lindsey arrived early but Luke
arrived the earliest.
What Are
Superlative
Adjectives?
Rule: For a one-syllable word simply add the
suffix –est to the word. Often times it is
necessary to double the final consonant.
For example Long-longest Big – Biggest
Rule: the one syllable word ends with an “e”
you only need to add an –st
For example Fine-finest
Rule: two-syllable word ends with a “y” then
change the “y” to “I” and add -est.
For example Pretty – prettiest
Superlative adjective is used to compare
three or more objects, people, or places.
Using the superlative form takes a
comparison to the highest degree possible.
A superlative adverb is used to compare three
or more people, places, or things. It’s used to
state that the action performed is to the
highest degree within a group or of its kind.

5. What Are
Comparative of
Equal Adverbs?
If two things are equal in some way, we can
use a comparison with as … as …. The
comparisons may involve adjectives (adj) or
adverbs (adv) after the first as, and noun
phrases (np) or clauses after the second as:
What Are
Comparative of
Equal
Adjectives?
We can show that two things are not
equal using.
.
Rule: not + as + adjective + as
When we use this structure, the first
thing mentioned is 'less' than the
second thing. (The order of the things
you are comparing is opposite to that
used in comparisons with comparative
adjectives.)
for Example: This one isn't as big as the
old one
He’s grown so much. He’s as tall as his father now. (adj +
noun phrase)
The team is still as good as it was five years ago. (adj +
clause)
The second game didn’t go as well as the first one. (adv +
noun phrase)
The company is not performing as successfully as it did
when Arthur Carling was the President. (adv + clause)
