Very educational about adverbs.

1. DEGREES OF COMPARISON
OF ADVERBS

2. DEGREES OF COMPARISON OF
ADVERBS
 Just like Adjectives, Adverbs have three
degrees of comparison: Positive,
Comparative and Superlative.
 1.) Positive – is the most basic form of
adverb; it simply describes an adjective,
verb and another adverb .
 Ex. The boy runs fast.
Ex. fast far hard
late soon near

3.  2.) Comparative – adverbs can be
compared in exactly the same way as
adjectives; few adverbs form the
comparative degree by simply adding
–er to the positive degree.
NOTE: The comparative form of an
adverb is made by:
Ex. The boy runs faster than his
father.
a.) Adding –er (short adverbs with
just 1 syllable)
Ex. clean + er = cleaner
high + er = higher

4. b.) by using –more (for adverbs which
end in -ly
Ex. more + softly = more softly
more + happily = more happily
3.) Superlative - is made by adding or
using –est or most.
Ex. The athlete runs the fastest.
Ex. loud + est = loudest
soon + est = soonest
Ex. most + truly = most truly
most + abruptly = most
abruptly

5.  NOTE: It should be noted that only
Adverbs of Time, Degree and Manner
have 3 degrees of comparison.
 Adverbs such as: now, then, there,
where, never, ever, cannot be
compared and hence they do not
have 3 degrees of comparison
