Step-by-step solution for: Comparative Adverbs Worksheets by Homework Hut worksheets library
Let's solve the task step by step.
The goal is to complete the chart with the correct comparative or superlative adverb forms for each adjective. The instructions explain that:
- Comparative adverbs are used to compare two things (e.g., "more quickly").
- Superlative adverbs are used to describe the highest degree (e.g., "most quickly").
- For one-syllable adverbs, we usually add -er for comparative and -est for superlative.
- For longer adverbs (usually those ending in -ly), we use more (comparative) and most (superlative).

Now let’s go through each word:
1. Red
- Comparative: *Redder* (already given)
- Superlative: Reddest ✔
2. Friendly
- Comparative: *Friendlier* (already given)
- Superlative: Friendliest ✔
3. Fast
- Comparative: Faster
- Superlative: Fastest
4. Icy
- This is a one-syllable adjective ending in 'y'. We change 'y' to 'i' and add '-er' / '-est'.
- Comparative: Icier
- Superlative: Iceiest → Wait! Actually, "icier" and "icest" are not standard.
But the correct form is:
- Comparative: Icier
- Superlative: Iciest ✔ (though less common, it's acceptable)
5. Bad
- Comparative: Worse (irregular)
- Superlative: Worst ✔
6. Pretty
- Comparative: Prettier
- Superlative: Prettiest ✔
7. Smally → Wait! "Smally" is not a standard English word.
- The correct adverb form of "small" is "small" (adverb = "small").
- But if we're talking about "small", then:
- Comparative: Smaller
- Superlative: Smallest
- However, since the chart says "Smally", which is incorrect, it might be a typo.
Likely intended: Small → so:
- Comparative: Smaller
- Superlative: Smallest ✔
8. Busy
- Comparative: Busier
- Superlative: Busiest ✔
9. Hard
- Comparative: Harder
- Superlative: Hardest ✔
10. Funny
- Comparative: Funnier
- Superlative: Funniest ✔

| Adjective | Comparative | Superlative |
|----------|-------------|-------------|
| 1. Red | Redder | Reddest |
| 2. Friendly | Friendlier | Friendliest |
| 3. Fast | Faster | Fastest |
| 4. Icy | Icier | Iciest |
| 5. Bad | Worse | Worst |
| 6. Pretty | Prettier | Prettiest |
| 7. Smally | Smaller | Smallest |
| 8. Busy | Busier | Busiest |
| 9. Hard | Harder | Hardest |
| 10. Funny | Funnier | Funniest |
> ⚠️ Note: "Smally" is not a valid adverb. It should probably be "Small" (adjective). But if taken as a typo, we assume it means "small" and apply the rules accordingly.
