Comparing with adverbs worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

Adverbs compare too: short ones take -er and -est (faster, fastest); -ly ones take more and most (more quickly, most quickly); and well goes better, best.

Three grades, one set of sentences: all three print from the same 40. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. 3rd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Third graders build comparative and superlative adverbs from a base: faster/fastest for the short ones, more quickly for the -ly ones, writing the full form on the line.

  2. 4th grade Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    Fourth graders pick the pattern automatically, -er/-est or more/most, using than (two things) and of-all (three or more) as the signals.

  3. 5th grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Fifth graders handle the irregulars (well/better/best, badly/worse/worst) and use adverb comparisons to sharpen their own sentences.
