What is the comparative and superlative for loudly?

Here's how to figure out the comparative and superlative forms of "loudly":

* Loudly is an adverb, describing how something is done.

* Adverbs of manner often form their comparative and superlative using "-er" and "-est" (e.g., quickly, quicker, quickest).

* However, "loudly" is a bit trickier because it's already a long word.

Here are the common ways to express the comparison:

Comparative:

* More loudly

* Louder (less common, but acceptable)

Superlative:

* Most loudly

* Loudest (less common, but acceptable)

While "louder" and "loudest" might seem more natural in everyday speech, the "-er" and "-est" forms are generally preferred for more formal writing.
