Adverbs (comparative or superlative)
Objective: The primary learning objective of this worksheet is to teach and practice the formation and use of comparative and superlative adverbs, including regular and irregular forms.
Content and Methods: The worksheet explains the rules for forming comparative and superlative adverbs, distinguishing between single-syllable adverbs/adverbs with the same form as adjectives (using -er/-est) and adverbs ending in -ly (using more/most). It also highlights the need to memorize irregular forms. The methods include multiple-choice questions to select the correct adverb form, tasks to identify "signal words" for comparative/superlative use, drag-and-drop exercises to place the correct adverb forms, and tasks to reorder words into grammatically correct sentences using comparative and superlative adverbs.
Competencies:
- English grammar knowledge (comparative and superlative adverbs)
- Application of regular and irregular adverb forms
- Understanding of comparative structures (e.g., "than") and superlative structures (e.g., "of all")

Adverbs (comparative or superlative)
Comparative and superlative adverbs
We use -er/-est to form the comparative of single-syllable adverbs, and of adverbs which have the same form as their adjectives. Note that the usual spelling rules apply: -y at the end a of word changes to -i, -e at the end of word is left out.
We use more/most to form the comparative of all adverbs that end in -ly (except for adverbs whose form is the same as the adjective; see above).
There are also irregular comparative and superlative adverbs that we have to memorize.
