COMPARATIVES LOS COMPARATIVOS Instructor: 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
