Comparative and Superlative….Adverbs: Sound Familiar? By: The Most Interestingly Handsome Mr. Barg

Adverbs? What is an adverb? What does it do?

Adverbs An adverb tells more about the verb, such as how, when, and where an action takes place

Examples We went to the park together. Together = how We moved freely through the hallways. Freely = how Tomorrow we will go to the museum. Tomorrow = when We have to travel far to find food. Far = where

Today… We are going to take adverbs a step further. We are going to talk about comparative and superlative adverbs Wait a second….

Yes…but… We talked about comparative and superlative adjectives Comparative and superlative adverbs are a lot like comparative and superlative adjectives. They both compare things However, it is all in how you use them. Remember, adjectives modify nouns or pronouns. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs

Examples: Lily is faster than Ally. Lily is a noun Gabriel ran faster than David. Ran is a verb He got a good score on the test. Score is a noun He did well on the test. Did is a verb

Comparative Adverbs… The comparative form of an adverb compares two actions. Just like adjectives… Short adverbs will use –er at the end. Long adverbs will use more or less

Comparative Examples… The students listened more attentively tonight than last night. More attentively tells us how the audience listened in comparison to last night.

Superlative Adverbs… Just like superlative adjectives, superlative adverbs compare more than two actions. Use –est at the end of most short adverbs. Use most/least in front of longer adverbs.

Superlative Adverb Example… Last Sunday’s audience responded most enthusiastically of all. Most enthusiastically is telling us how the audience responded in comparison to all the other nights.

Some Adverbs are tricky… Some Irregular Adverbs… Well Better Best Badly Worse Worst Little (amount) Less Least

Exercise A In the following slide, tell me the comparative and superlative form of each adverb.

Exercise A Tenderly Fast Little Easily Violently Rapidly close

Review… A comparative adverb compares two actions. Use –er or more/less to compare two actions. A superlative adverb compares more than two actions. Use –est or most/least to compare more than two actions…

Adverb Fun!
