Let's solve this step by step.

Part 1: Fill in the missing words in the table

We need to convert adjectives into their corresponding adverbs, and then form their comparative and superlative forms.

| Adjective | Adverb | Comparative | Superlative |
|----------|------------|-------------------|--------------------|
| soft | softly | more softly | most softly |
| graceful | gracefully | more gracefully | most gracefully |
| fast | fast | faster | fastest |
| slow | slowly | more slowly | most slowly |
| beautiful | beautifully | more beautifully | most beautifully |
| good | well | better | best |
| bad | badly | worse | worst |

> ✔ Notes:
> - Most adjectives ending in -ly are already adverbs (e.g., *softly*, *gracefully*).
> - Fast is an exception — it’s both adjective and adverb, and its comparative/superlative are regular: *faster*, *fastest*.
> - Good → well (adverb), comparative: *better*, superlative: *best*
> - Bad → badly (adverb), comparative: *worse*, superlative: *worst*

Part 2: Complete the sentences using the correct adverb

Now let’s fill in the blanks with the correct adverb form as indicated.

1. Tommy runs _________ Lucy in the game. *(fast / comparative)*
→ "Faster than" is needed.
✔ faster than

2. My mother cooks _________ of all. *(good / superlative)*
→ The adverb form of "good" is "well", superlative = best
✔ best

3. My students work _________ yours. *(good / comparative)*
→ "Better than" is required.
✔ better than

4. She drives _________ than you. *(bad / comparative)*
→ Adverb: *badly*, comparative: *worse*
✔ worse than

5. The train goes _________ in the country. *(slow / superlative)*
→ Adverb: *slowly*, superlative: *most slowly*
✔ most slowly

6. Her band plays _________ mine. *(loud / comparative)*
→ Adverb: *loudly*, comparative: *more loudly*
✔ more loudly than

7. A Giant Panda walks _________. *(graceful / superlative)*
→ Adverb: *gracefully*, superlative: *most gracefully*
✔ most gracefully

8. I am _________ soccer player. *(bad / superlative)*
→ Adverb: *badly*, but here we're describing a person as a player — so we use the worst
→ But note: “I am ___ soccer player” — this needs the worst (adverbial phrase)
✔ the worst

> ⚠️ Note: In sentence 8, even though it says “bad / superlative”, the structure requires "the worst" because we’re comparing people ("I am the worst soccer player").
