    Making A Comparison Stronger or Weaker

    Uploaded by

    Adriana López Pastrana
    The document discusses comparative forms of adjectives and adverbs. It explains that to make a comparative stronger, words like "a lot", "much", and "far" are used, while "a bit" and "a little" make a comparative weaker. It also notes that adverbs modify verb actions, so comparative adverbs like "faster" are used to compare one verb action to another. Some adverbs form the comparative irregularly, such as "worse", "earlier", and "better".

    RUL  One of the jobs of an
    adverb is to modify a
    verb action.
     If we want to compare

    E Ex:
    Joe ran fast.
    comparative adverb.
    Ex:
    Joe ran fast, but Mary
    came first because she ran
    faster.

    syllable, we usually
    has two or more
    syllables (like all -
