Friendly Adverbs
Table of contents for "Getting Back To English Basics"
More – friendly(ier)
Most – friendly(est)
The form of modifiers change as they are used in comparison. A comparison has three degrees:
1. Positive (pretty, kind, fearful, beautiful).
2. Comparative (prettier, kinder, more fearful, more beautiful).
3. Superlative (prettiest, kindest, most fearful, most beautiful).
Remember, adverbs always form their comparative and superlative degrees by using more or most.
a) David is less stupid than Jack.
b) David is the less stupid of them all.
Some modifiers have irregular comparison:
Bad, worse, worst.
Good, better, best.
Many, more, most.
Little, lesser, least.
Note – Do Not Omit the words “other” and “also” when comparing one thing with another.
a) He is smaller than anyone else.
b) He is more stupid than any person at work.
