<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Using Adverbs to Compare and Use Why, What, Where&nbsp;</h2>



We know that adverbs modify verbs. Adverbs can be used to compare verbs or actions.&nbsp;



A comparative adverb is used to compare two actions.&nbsp;



A superlative adverb compares how more than two actions are done.&nbsp;



For example: He ran quickly.&nbsp;



He ran quickly, but she won because she ran more quickly.&nbsp;<div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes" data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



Of all the pupils, she ran most quickly.&nbsp;



Here “ran” is the verb. “Quickly” denotes how he ran. Quickly is the adverb and its comparative form is “more quickly.”“Most quickly” is the superlative form.&nbsp;



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rules&nbsp;</h3>



For adverbs with one syllable, the comparative adverb is formed by adding –er and superlative adverb by adding –est.&nbsp;



For example: high – higher – highest&nbsp;



For adverbs with more than one syllable,the comparative adverb is formed by adding <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/more-and-most-grade-4">more and most</a> is added to get the superlative form.&nbsp;<div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes" data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



For example: slowly – more slowly – most slowly&nbsp;



We can use less instead of more to reduce the action.&nbsp;



For example:&nbsp;



He comes often.&nbsp;



He comes more often.&nbsp;



He comes less often.&nbsp;



Certain adverbs have irregular forms.&nbsp;



For example: Badly– worse– worst&nbsp;



Much- more- most&nbsp;



Little- less- least&nbsp;



Well- better- best&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Relative adverbs – When, where and why.&nbsp;</h4>



When, where and why are the three important <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/relative-adverbs-grade-4">relative adverbs</a> in English. 



Relative adverbs introduce a relative clause (group of words or clause that talks more about a noun).&nbsp;



Relative adverbs modify adjectives or verbs like adverbs do.&nbsp;



Adjectives modify nouns or noun phrases.&nbsp;



For example: This is the place where I met you first.&nbsp;



“Where I met you first” is a relative adjective clause that modifies the noun “place.” The word “where” is a relative adverb.&nbsp;



The three relative adverbs are where, when and why.&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Where is an adverb of place. It denotes the location of anything like a country, city, region, house or shop.&nbsp;</li>



<li>For example: This is the shop where I bought my shoes.&nbsp;</li>



<li>When is an adverb of time. It refers to any time of a day, a day, a week, a year or an era.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>For example: Tomorrow is the day when I start going for a job.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Why is an adverb of reason. It says why something happened.&nbsp;</li>



<li>For example:The reason why I started working is that I want to earn.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Relative adverbs introduce a relative clause, and they come after the noun they are modifying.&nbsp;



(Sometimes, an adjective clause functions as an adjective in a sentence. It is a dependent clause.)&nbsp;
