What is the comparative and superlative of carefully?

The word "carefully" is already an adverb, so it doesn't have comparative and superlative forms in the traditional sense.

However, you can express different degrees of carefulness using adverbs like:

Comparative:

* More carefully

* More attentively

* With greater care

Superlative:

* Most carefully

* Most attentively

* With the greatest care

You can also use other adverbs to convey a similar meaning, such as:

* Thoroughly

* Meticulously

* Precisely

* Conscientiously

For example, instead of saying "He did it carefully," you could say:

* He did it more carefully. (comparative)

* He did it most carefully. (superlative)

* He did it meticulously. (emphasizing high level of care)
