What is the comparative and superlative adverb for eagerly?

There isn't a direct comparative or superlative form for "eagerly" in the same way there is for adjectives like "big" (bigger, biggest).

Here's why and how to express varying degrees of eagerness:

* "Eagerly" is already an adverb. It describes how an action is done, and it already implies a high degree of enthusiasm.

* To express more or less eagerness, we use other adverbs:

* More eagerly (comparative)

* Most eagerly (superlative)

* Very eagerly

* Extremely eagerly

* With great eagerness

* With even more eagerness

Examples:

* "He eagerly awaited the news."

* "She more eagerly anticipated the trip than anyone else."

* "They most eagerly participated in the event."

Note: You can also use phrases like "with increasing eagerness" or "with a growing sense of anticipation" to show a gradual increase in eagerness.
