 Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 3:17 am Post subject: Adv comparative and superlative degree |
 |
|
I don't know the forms of Adverbs' comparative and superlative degrees.
e.g. beautifully->more beautifully->most beautifully
busily->comparative?->superlative?
All of the comparatives and superlatives of advers?
How can I know the forms? Where can I look them up?(Dictionaries don't have this kind of information)
Thank you |

| Adverbs that end in -ly usually form the comparative by prefixing more and most. |

you mean:
happily-->more/most happily (not happilier or happiliest?)
easily-->more/most easily (not easilier or easiliest)
busily-->more/most busily (not busilier or busiliest)
Thank you |

Yes, that's right.
Bill ran easily, Ann ran more easily but John ran the most easily...etc.. |
