Comparisons: Part 2 - Adverbs

I. Comparative Adverbs

S + Verbs + Comparative Adv + than + O/(S+Aux)

For adverbs ending in -ly, we need to add more or less in front of the adverb.

Example: He can run faster than I can. (fast) Lan sings more beautifully than the other students. (beautifully)

I walk more slowly than my father does. (slowly)

II. Superlative Adverbs

S + Verbs + Superlative Adv...

For adverbs ending in -ly, we need to add the most or the least in front of the adverb.

Example: He performs the best out of all the players.

She finished her assignment the most carefully.

II. Comparison of equality:

S + Verbs + as/so + Adv + as + O

Example: He plays the guitar as well as Mary.
