usStory Elements: Problem & Solution (Conflict & Resolution)

Every main character(s) in a story has a conflict (or problem) to solve or overcome. The plot (beginning, middle, e and end of the story) is centered around this conflict and the ways in which the character(s) attempt to resolve the problem. The solution the problem is solved is called the resolution.

Comparative & Superlative Adverbs

Some adverbs compare actions.

• A comparative adverb is when we compare two actions. We add -er to the end of most adverbs.

• A superlative adverb is when we compare three or more actions. We add -est to the end of most adverbs.

•  For most adverbs ending in -ly, we need to add the word more (if comparing two actions) or the word most (if comparing three or more actions) in front of the adverb.
