With LY adverbs (adverbs formed from adjectives by adding -ly to the end) we form the comparative and superlative forms with more and most.
Adjective | Adverb | Comparative Adverb | Superlative Adverb |
---|---|---|---|
quiet | quietly | more quietly | most quietly |
careful | carefully | more carefully | most carefully |
happy | happily | more happily | most happily |
For adverbs which retain the same form as the adjective form, we add -er to form the comparative and -est to form the superlative.
Adjective | Adverb | Comparative Adverb | Superlative Adverb |
---|---|---|---|
hard | hard | harder | hardest |
fast | fast | faster | fastest |
early | early | earlier | earliest |
Adjective | Adverb | Comparative Adverb | Superlative Adverb |
---|---|---|---|
good | well | better | best |
bad | badly | worse | worst |
far | far | farther/further | farthest/furthest |
