ADJECTIVES
A comparative adjective is used to compare two things.
A superlative
adjective is used when you compare three or more things.
For example,
looking at apples you can compare their size, determining which is big,
which is bigger, and which is biggest.
The comparative ending (
suffix)
for short, common adjectives is generally "-er"; the superlative suffix
is generally "-est."
For most longer adjectives, the comparative is
made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the
superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most
comfortable).
For most adjectives with two or more syllables, the comparative is
formed by adding the word "more," and you form the superlative by adding
the word "most", for example: colorful, more colorful, most colorful.
ADVERBS
Adverbs are words that modify
- a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
- an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
- another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)
Adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what
conditions something happens or happened.
Adverbs frequently end in
-ly; however, many words and phrases not ending in
-ly serve an adverbial function and an
-ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. The words
lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly, for instance, are adjectives:
- That lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.
If a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb (modifying the verb of a sentence), it is called an
Adverb Clause:
- When this class is over, we're going to the movies.
When a group of words
not containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb, it is called an
adverbial phrase.
Prepositional phrases frequently have adverbial functions (telling place and time, modifying the verb):
- He went to the movies.
- She works on holidays.
- They lived in Canada during the war.
