Unit 2:
LIFE IN THE
COUNTRYSIDE
Lesson 3: A Closer Look 2

Making comparison

Comparative adverbs
– For most adverbs (often with two or more syllables), we
make comparative forms by adding more.
Example:
slowly → more slowly
carefully → more carefully
– For adverbs that have the same forms as adjectives like
fast, hard, soon, etc., we make comparative forms by adding
-er.
Example:
fast → faster
hard → harder
– Some irregular adverbs:
well → better
