This grammar worksheet helps students practice converting adverbs into their comparative and superlative forms.

You're working on a worksheet about comparative and superlative adverbs. The goal is to fill in the chart with the correct comparative and superlative forms of each adverb listed.

---

📌 Key Rules from the Instructions:

1. Adverbs ending in `-ly` need an extra modifier:
- Comparative: `more + [adverb]`
- Superlative: `most + [adverb]`

2. Short adverbs (often 1 syllable) that do NOT end in `-ly` usually follow adjective rules:
- Add `-er` for comparative
- Add `-est` for superlative

> ⚠️ Important Note: The worksheet says “*Adverbs that end in –ly need an extra modifier...*” — this applies to all the adverbs listed except possibly “soon,” which doesn’t end in `-ly` but is still irregular or follows different rules.

Let’s go through each one:

## 💡 Extra Notes:

- “Fast” is interesting — it can be both an adjective and an adverb. As an adverb, it’s irregular: *fast → faster → fastest*.
- “Soon” is also an adverb that doesn’t end in `-ly`, and its comparative/superlative are regular: *sooner*, *soonest*.
- All other adverbs here end in `-ly`, so they all follow the “more/most” pattern.
