COMPARATIVES

LOS COMPARATIVOSInstructor: Ema Mateica Sosa / TL Hanna

In order to compare adjectives, nouns and adverbs that are not equal in quality or quantity we use the formulas below:

MORE…. THAN = MÁS … QUE

LESS… THAN = MENOS… QUE

José es más fuerte que yo.

Jose is stronger than me.

Yo soy menos fuerte que José.

I’m less strong then José.

Keep in mind that the adjective needs to agree in number and gender with the subject!!!

Ex: John es mas serio que Joanna O masculine singular

Joanna es mas seria que Ana. O feminine singular

Los chicos son mas serios que las chicas. os masculine plural

Las chicas son menos serias que los chicos. As Feminine plural

ATENCIÓN !!!!!!!!!!As in English, some comparatives are Irregular.

We do not say in English

“More good” but BETTER

Más bueno/bien MEJOR

good better

Más malo/mal PEOR

bad worse

Más joven (persona) MENOR

young younger

Más viejo (persona) MAYOR

old older
