00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about adverbs that are used for comparison. So let's start.
00:10Now we know adverbs. Adverbs are words that describe action words or verbs and even adjectives
00:21and other adverbs. Joy is walking. This sentence doesn't tell us anything about the action
00:32of walking. Joy is walking slowly. From the word slowly, we get to know about the manner
00:40in which joy is walking. So walking is an adverb that adds more meaning to the verb
00:48walking. Tia is singing a song. Here, singing is a verb, but it's not telling anything
00:58further about the action of singing. Tia is singing beautifully. The word beautifully
01:07describes the verb singing, as from this word we get to know how she is singing. So
01:17beautifully is an adverb. Grace is looking beautiful. Here, beautiful is an adjective
01:29as it is describing the noun grace. Grace is looking very beautiful. Here the word very
01:40is adding more meaning to the adjective beautiful. So it's an adverb. So kids, we have learned
01:50a lot about adverbs and their types. Now we will learn about adverbs that are used to
01:57compare two or more things. John is driving safely. Here, driving is a verb and the adverb
02:09safely is describing the verb driving. So safely is an adverb, but it is not making any comparison.
02:19Adam's driving is safer than James' driving. Here, driving is the verb and safer is a
02:33describing word for the verb. So the word safer is comparing the driving of Adam's with James'.
02:41Let's see some more examples of adverbs that are used for comparison. Jacob is running faster than
02:52Liam. Here, running is a verb and faster is a word that is describing the verb running. So
03:04faster is an adverb and it is comparing the running speed of Jacob with Liam. So kids,
03:13adverbs that compare two things and with the suffix ER. Soon, sooner. Fine, finer. Louder,
03:26louder. Faster, faster. Such words are used in the comparison of two things. I reached home
03:36earlier than you. I finished my work sooner than you. I drank milk faster than her. Peter scored
03:48higher than Andrew. John is drawing faster than Annie. Let's see how longer adverbs like carefully,
03:59skillfully, beautifully, slowly, swiftly. How do we use them for comparison? He drives more
04:09carefully than his younger brother. So the adverb more carefully is being used for comparison. So
04:19what did we do? We added more before the adverb instead of adding ER at the end. She writes more
04:30beautifully than her elder brother. Here, more beautifully is the adverb that is used for
04:39comparison. So we added more here. He does things more skillfully than his other age mates. John is
04:51swimming more skillfully than Annie. So we have added more before skillfully to change the adverb
05:01to adverb for comparison. So kids, we have learned about adverbs that compares two things. Now we
05:12will learn about adverbs that compare more than two things. Tia has made the best project in the
05:22class. Here, best is an adverb that compares the project of Tia with all other students in the
05:31class. John made fewest mistakes in math exam in the class. Here, the word fewest is an adverb that
05:42compares the mistakes of John with the mistakes of all the other students. Annie writes fastest in
05:52the class. Annie tried hardest among all. Olivia reached nearest to the victory point. This stone
06:04is nearest to me. So the adverb nearest is comparing the stone to many other stones. This
06:14stone is farthest from me. The adverb farthest is comparing one stone to many other stones. This
06:24point is the lowest point of this mountain. So the adverb lowest is comparing this point to many
06:33other points on this mountain. This is the highest point on the mountain. So the word highest is
06:42comparing this point to all the other points on this mountain. Among many boys, this boy seems to
06:52be the thinnest one. So the word thinnest is comparing one boy to all the other boys. Among
07:03these boys, this boy seems to be the strongest one. The word strongest is comparing one boy to
07:14many other boys. So kids, we learned the words ending with EST compare one thing or person to
07:25many other things or persons. So the words ending in EST compare one thing or person to many other
07:35things or person. In case of longer adverbs, we use most before the adverb to compare it with more
07:46than one thing. Olivia writes more beautifully than Alma. Here a comparison is being made between two
07:55girls. Olivia writes most beautifully of all the girls in the class. Here we have a comparison
08:05of Olivia with all the other girls in the class. So we have used most for that. John drives most
08:16carefully of all the other boys of his group. John is being compared to all the other boys of his
08:25group. And for that purpose, we have used most carefully. Olivia swims most gracefully of all
08:35the girls of her group. Here again, Olivia is being compared to all the other girls of her
08:43group. For this purpose, we have used most with carefully. Sam shouted most loudly of all the
08:54boys. Here again, Sam is being compared to many other boys. And for this purpose, we have used
09:02most with loudly. So kids, we have learned about adverbs for comparison, comparison between two
09:12things and comparison between more than two things. Now you may go ahead and take a quiz
09:20to learn more. Bye bye.
