In English we add –er to adjectives to make comparisons such as smarter, faster, taller, etc.

Page 3: Making Comparisons

There is no ending to add on to adjectives in Spanish to make comparisons so we use más or menos.

Page 4: Making Comparisons

Más + adjective + que

More+adjective+than

Example…Shaq es más alto que

yo.The “more tall”

works like our –er.

Page 5: Making Comparisons

Menos + adjective + que

Less+ adjective + than

Yo soy menos alta que Shaq

I am less tall than Shaq.

The “less tall” is like saying shorter.

You can use the same concept with

nouns to make comparisons.

Example…Bill Gates tiene más

dinero que yo.

Others that don’t use más or menos:

Mayor= olderMenor= younger

Use tan…como for adjectives that are

equal.Example…

Echel.

Use tanto…como for nouns that are equal.
