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.
