Comparing Actions Clearly: Comparative and Superlative Adverbs for Class 4

This Grade 4 English grammar worksheet builds strong understanding of comparative and superlative adverbs—words that compare how actions are performed. Students learn how to use comparative adverbs (e.g., faster, more clearly) to compare two actions and superlative adverbs (e.g., fastest, most clearly) to compare three or more. Through structured, age-appropriate practice, learners strengthen their ability to express degrees of action accurately in sentences.

The worksheet includes multiple skill-building tasks such as multiple-choice questions, choosing between comparative–superlative pairs, matching sentences to correct adverb forms, identifying incorrect comparisons, and completing a descriptive paragraph. These activities help students understand how comparison works in action words and apply correct forms naturally essential for clear expression, strong grammar skills, and school assessments.

Why Comparative and Superlative Adverbs Matter in Grammar?

Understanding degrees of comparison in adverbs is important for Grade 4 learners because:
1. It helps students compare how actions happen in different situations.
2. It teaches correct formation using –er/–est and more/most patterns.
3. It prevents common errors like double comparison (more faster, most fastest).
4. It strengthens descriptive speaking and writing skills.

Kavya sang more sweetly than Om, while Priya clapped most loudly of all. Rahul danced more gracefully than Harsh, but Diya laughed more happily than anyone else. The cake was served later than the snacks, and Manav ate more quickly than Ishan. Pooja cheered more loudly than the others, while Om blew the balloons fastest of all. Neha opened her gifts more eagerly than Kavya, and Harsh thanked his friends most warmly of all. Later, the children played games.

Finally, everyone sang the birthday song more joyfully than last year, and Neha smiled most happily of all.
