Convert into adverb forms​

Answer 1

Answer:

Adjectives and adverbs have a close relationship. Both are modifiers: 1) adjectives modify nouns, and 2) adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. This close relationship is why we can simply add an –ly to so many adjectives in order to create adverbs. And it’s for this reason that we cover comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs at the same time.

Two Methods of Creating the Comparative and Superlative Forms: 1) Add Suffix Method, and 2) Add Adverb Method

The BASE FORM of an adjective and adverb is also called  the POSITIVE FORM. From this base form, we create the comparative and superlative forms. We have two ways of creating these forms:

1.  Add Suffix Method: Add the suffix –er  or –est to the end of the adjective or adverb.

2.  Add Adverb Method: Place one of these adverbs immediately in front of the adjective or adverb: more, less, most, least.

Comparative Examples: Add –er, more, or less.

1.  Add Suffix –er: e.g., braver, longer, scarier.

2.  Add Adverb more, less: e.g., more outrageous, more ambitious, less powerful.

Superlative Examples: Add –est, most, or least.

1.  Add Suffix –est:  e.g., fastest, tallest, softest.

2.  Add Adverb most, least: e.g., most affordable, least desirable.

Although many adjectives use the Suffix Method, many more use the Adverb Method. In contrast, VERY FEW adverbs use the Suffix Method; NEARLY ALL adverbs use the Adverb Method.

Note: Adverbs are the only words that can modify adjectives and other adverbs; hence, more, less, most, and least are all adverbs.

Gradable

Worth mentioning here, many adverbs and adjectives are Gradable. Gradable is quite similar to the Adverb Method of creating comparatives and superlatives. The difference is that gradable deals with matters of degree; however, gradable is similar in that it involves placing an appropriate adverb in front of an adjective or adverb.

Here is a short list of adverbs that we use to grade: very, so, too, extremely, highly, really, mildly, moderately, outrageously, truly etc.

• Graded Adjective Examples:   extremely kind, highly effective, very generous.

• Graded Adverb Examples:       very calmly, extremely fast, too slowly.
