  – Where?
     • My friend is coming over here.
  – To what extent?
     • That dinner was very delicious.
Comparative Adverbs
• The comparative form of an adverb
  compares TWO actions.
  – Add –er or use the word ‘more’ with the
    adverb.
  – Do NOT use ‘more’ with an adverb ending in –
    er.

    • Fast  faster
    • Quickly  more quickly
Superlative Adverbs
• The superlative form of an adverb
  compares MORE than two actions.

Misplaced Modifiers
• A modifier can be a single adjective or
  adverb, or it can be a phrase, such as a
  prepositional phrase.

  confusing or misleading sentence.

    robbery.
