adverbs, Adverbs Comparasion
When we compare what two things or people do we look at what
makes one different from the other.
Adverbs of comparison are used to show what one thing does
better or worse than the other.
When an adverb ends in -ly, more is put in front of the adverb.
For example:-
* "Khalid did her homework more frequently."
The rule for forming the comparative of an adverb is if it
has the same form as an adjective add the suffix -er to the
end.
For example:
"Tariq did her homework faster."
The following irregular adverbs are exceptions to this rule:
*'well' becomes 'better'
*badly' becomes 'worse'
*little' becomes 'less'
For example:
"Tariq was better."
"Khalid was worse."
"To lose weight you need to eat less."
When comparing two things you need to put than between the
adverb and what is being compared.
For example:
"Tariq did his homework faster than Khalid."
"Tariq did his homework more frequently than Khalid."
