Comparative adverbs are adverbs that show a comparison of qualities, as do comparative adjectives. However, most do not use the same suffixes as do the adjectives (-er, -est). Most use the words more (or less) and most (or least). Sometimes the word than is used to compare with others.
He drives more dangerously than other drivers.
The second accident was less serious. (than understood)
In some cases, however, they are the same words as the adjective form:
They work hard / they work harder / they work the hardest.
In some cases, the only change from the adjective is the addition of the adverb suffix -LY:
beautifully / more beautifully / most beautifully
