Using Adverb
of
Manner
in
Making
Comparisons
 Adverbs have three degrees of
comparison: positive, comparative, and
superlative.

The positive degree does not show

any comparison.
 To form the comparative degree
of most adverbs, add –er to the words

Example:
fast - faster
hard – harder
 Adverb ending in ly from their comparative
degree by using the words more or less.

Example:
gracefully - more gracefully or less
gracefully

frequently – more frequently or less

frequently
 To form the superlative degree of
adverbs, add -est to the words.
Adverbs ending in ly use the words
most or least in the superlative
degree.

Example:
gracefully – most/ least gracefully
frequently – most/least
 Directions: Encircle the adverb in
the sentence, then on the line
write P if it uses the positive
degree of comparison, C if it uses
the comparative degree, and S if it
uses the superlative degree.
