minus-squareQuimby [any, any]hexbear7·edit-24 years agoI'm guessing something like "she ran less quickly." Less modifies quickly, which is an adverb. So less would therefore also be an adverb, not an adjective, since adjectives modify nouns or other adjectives. link
minus-squareGalaxyBrain [they/them]hexbear5·4 years agoAlso adverbs can be used on adjectives like in 'she is very tall'. So I think less is maybe still an adjective here? link
