Adverbs

Comparative and superlative adverbs are almost exclusively used to modify verbs.

Comparative adverbs express a higher (or lower) degree of how a verb’s action is performed, usually in comparison to another person or thing. They are generally formed by adding the suffix “-er.”

Superlative adverbs, on the other hand, are used to identify the highest (or lowest) degree of how an action is performed. They are generally formed by adding the suffix “-est.”

Adverbs in their basic forms are sometimes known as being in the positive degree.

The way in which an adverb shifts from the basic degree to the comparative and superlative degrees is known as the Degrees of Comparison.

Adverbial Phrases

An adverbial phrase (also known as an adverb phrase) is a group of words that functions as an adverb in a sentence. These can be adverbs modified by other adverbs, adverbial prepositional phrases, or adverbial infinitive phrases.
