GrammarGrammar Focus Adverbs are words that tell more
about a verb. They answer the questions: How?
When? or Where? Most adverbs that tell how end in the
–ly. Examples:
How: quickly, loudly, sadly, softly, nicelyWhen: today, tomorrow, suddenly, later, next, nowWhere: outside, here, there, away, down
Adverbs have special forms that can be used to compare actions.
Use –er to compare two actions. Use –est to compare three or more
actions. When an adverb is a long, word, use
more or most instead of –er and –est to compare.
