4th grade. Notes May 24th

Many adverbs can have three different forms, the positive, the comparative, and the superlative:

Positive	Comparative	Superlative
loudly	more loudly	most loudly
fast	faster	fastest
well	better	best

The superlative is used for comparing one action or state with all the others in the same category:

That boy is the one who can run the fastest.

He’s playing the kind of role that suits him best.

Worst of all, we didn’t have the rights to our own films.

Note that it’s not possible to have comparatives or superlatives of certain adverbs, especially those of time (e.g. yesterday, daily, then), place (e.g. here, up, down), and degree (e.g. very, really, almost).
