We show that in single field inflationary models the super-horizon evolution of curvature perturbations on comoving slices R, which can cause the production of primordial black holes (PBH), is not due to entropy perturbations, but to the background evolution effect on the conversion between entropy and curvature perturbations. We derive a general relation between the time derivative of comoving curvature perturbations and entropy perturbations, in terms of a conversion factor depending on the background evolution. Contrary to previous results derived in the uniform density gauge assuming the gradient term can be neglected on super-horizon scales, the relation is valid on any scale for any minimally coupled single scalar field model, also on sub-horizon scales where gradient terms are large. We apply it to the case of quasi-inflection inflation, showing that while entropy perturbations are decreasing, R can grow on super-horizon scales, due to a large increase of the conversion factor. This happens in the time interval during which a sufficiently fast decrease of the equation of state w transforms into a growing mode what in slow-roll models would be a decaying mode. The same mechanism also explains the super-horizon evolution of R in globally adiabatic systems, for which entropy perturbations vanish on any scale, such as ultra slow roll inflation and its generalizations.
