Adverbs and comparative adverbs

An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e., describes) a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives may come before the word they modify.
Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
Jaime is a nice boy.
Adverbs modify, or tell us more about, other words. Usually adverbs modify verbs,
telling us how, how often, when, or where something was done. The adverb is placed
after the verb it modifies.
Examples :

 The bus moved slowly.

 The car drove fast
Sometimes adverbs modify adjectives, making them stronger or weaker.
EXAMPLES
 You look absolutely fabulous!
 He is slightly overweight.

The simplest way to recognise an adverb is through the common ending –ly.
Examples of –ly adverbs are: quickly, quietly, fortunately.
careful > carefully
loud > loudly
slow > slowly
Irregular adverb

Compartive adverbs
LY Adverbs.
With LY adverbs (adverbs formed from adjectives by adding -ly to the end) we
form the comparative forms with more.

Examples :
Jeff works more quietly than Steve does.
Steve works more happily than he used to.
Other Adverbs.
For adverbs which retain the same form as the adjective form, we add -er to form
the comparative.

Examples :
Please work harder.
Mary runs faster than John does.
