WARM-UP

MAKING
COMPARISON

PRESENTATION
– 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
badly → worse
