🔍 Explanation Summary:
-
Adverbs modify verbs and often end in *-ly* (e.g., *quickly*, *happily*).
-
Comparative adverbs compare two actions: use *more... than* or *-er* (for short adverbs like *fast* → *faster*).
-
Superlative adverbs compare three or more: use *most...* or *-est*.
- Some adverbs don't follow regular patterns (e.g., *good* → *well*, *far* → *further/farthest*).
