What is a "comparative adverb"?
A comparative adverb is a word that compares the manner, degree, or intensity of an action between two or more subjects. These adverbs often end in "-er" or use the word "more" to show comparison. Common examples include "faster," "better," and "more carefully." For instance, in the sentence "She runs faster than her brother," the word "faster" compares her running speed to that of her brother. Comparative adverbs are important for expressing differences in actions or qualities, helping to clarify comparisons in communication.
