Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Degrees of Comparison in Adverbs Worksheets
Let's solve the task step by step.

We are asked to write the comparative and superlative forms of each adverb listed in the table. The example given is:

> carefully → more carefully → most carefully

This shows that for many adverbs, especially those with more than one syllable, we use "more" for the comparative and "most" for the superlative.

However, some adverbs (especially one-syllable ones) follow a different pattern: they add -er for comparative and -est for superlative.

Let’s go through each adverb:

---

1) fast


- Comparative: faster
- Superlative: fastest
*(One syllable – add -er/-est)*

---

2) early


- Comparative: earlier
- Superlative: earliest
*(One syllable – add -er/-est)*

---

3) hard


- Comparative: harder
- Superlative: hardest
*(One syllable – add -er/-est)*

---

4) generously


- Comparative: more generously
- Superlative: most generously
*(More than one syllable – use "more"/"most")*

---

5) low


- Comparative: lower
- Superlative: lowest
*(One syllable – add -er/-est)*

---

6) far


- Comparative: farther / further
- Superlative: farthest / furthest
*(Note: "far" has two sets of comparative/superlative forms — "farther/farthest" for physical distance, "further/furthest" for abstract or metaphorical distance. Both are acceptable.)*

---

7) badly


- Comparative: more badly
- Superlative: most badly
*(Two syllables – use "more"/"most")*
*(Note: Although "worse" and "worst" are common for "bad", they are adjectives. For the adverb "badly", we use "more badly" and "most badly.")*

---

8) well


- Comparative: better
- Superlative: best
*(Irregular form – "well" is irregular like "good")*

---

9) much


- Comparative: more
- Superlative: most
*(Irregular; "much" is an adverb meaning degree, so it uses "more/most")*

---

10) little


- Comparative: less
- Superlative: least
*(Irregular – "little" as an adverb means "to a small degree", so "less" and "least" are used)*

---

Final Answer Table:



| Adverb | Comparative | Superlative |
|--------------|--------------------|---------------------|
| 1) fast | faster | fastest |
| 2) early | earlier | earliest |
| 3) hard | harder | hardest |
| 4) generously| more generously | most generously |
| 5) low | lower | lowest |
| 6) far | farther / further | farthest / furthest |
| 7) badly | more badly | most badly |
| 8) well | better | best |
| 9) much | more | most |
| 10) little | less | least |

---

Notes:


- One-syllable adverbs usually add -er and -est.
- Two or more syllable adverbs usually use more and most.
- Some adverbs have irregular forms (e.g., *well*, *much*, *little*, *far*).
- "Far" has two possible forms due to usage context.

This completes the exercise!
