We learned that adverbs<\/a> are used to describe another verb, adverbs, adjectives, or clauses.  While describing these entities adverbs can also present comparison.  And when they do, they should be used in the appropriate comparative or superlative forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we compare an aspect about two entities, we add \u201cmore\u201d or \u201cless\u201d before the adverb to make it a comparative adverb. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Jack goes to swim more frequently<\/strong> than his sister Jill.<\/li>
  2. Jill is less agile<\/strong> than Jack.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When we compare an aspect of more than two entities, then we use adverbs in superlative form. In order to make an adverb superlative, we need to add \u201cmost\u201d or \u201cleast\u201d before the adverb. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The quality of the project showed that Amy\u2019s was the most hastily<\/strong> done project in the class.<\/li>
    2. Prof. Roy always raises the least frequently<\/strong> discussed topics in philosophy.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      So always be sure to use adverbs in their correct form.\u00a0 Add words such as “more” or “less” when you compare two entities.\u00a0 Likewise use words such as “most” or “least” when you compare more than two entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
