Lesson 6 Grammar Summary – Adverbs and Comparative Adverbs

1. What is an Adverb?

• An adverb describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
• It tells us how, when, where, or how often an action happens.
• Example: She types quickly.

2. Adverbs Ending in -ly

• Add -ly to adjectives: quick → quickly
• If adjective ends in consonant + y, change y → i: happy → happily
• Example: He works carefully on his homework.

3. Short Adverbs

• Some adverbs do not end in -ly: fast, hard
• Comparative forms: fast → faster, hard → harder

4. Irregular Adverbs

• Special comparative forms: well → better, badly → worse

5. Comparative Adverbs

• Compare actions between two people or situations.
• Rules:
  1. Add more for adverbs ending in -ly → carefully → more carefully
  2. Add -er for short adverbs → fast → faster
  3. Irregular adverbs → well → better, badly → worse
• Example Sentences:
• She types faster than her brother.
• He works more carefully than his friend.
• I speak English better than yesterday.

6. Key Points

• Adverbs describe how an action happens.
• Check the adjective before adding -ly.
• Use comparative adverbs to compare actions.
• Short and irregular adverbs have special forms.
