Presentation transcript:

Comparisons of inequality, more/less than With adjectives, adverbs, nouns, and verbs, use these constructions to make comparisons of inequality (more than/less than). ADJECTIVE NOUN Este hotel es más elegante que aquél. Juan tiene menos tiempo que Ema. This hotel is more elegant than that one. Juan has less time than Ema does. ¡Llegaste más tarde que yo! Mi hermano viaja menos que yo. You arrived later than I did! My brother travels less than I do. ADVERB VERB © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

When the focus of a comparison is a noun and the second term of the comparison is a verb or a clause, use these constructions to make comparisons of inequality. There were more seats than we needed. The city has fewer ruins than we expected. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Before a number (or equivalent expression), more/less than is expressed with más/menos de. The ticket costs more than three hundred dollars. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Comparisons of equality, as…as Use these constructions to make comparisons of equality (as… as). ADJECTIVE NOUN El vuelo de regreso no parece tan largo como el de ida. Cuando viajo a la ciudad, llevo tantas maletas como tú. The return flight doesn’t seem as long as the flight over. When I travel to the city, I take as many suitcases as you do. ADVERB VERB Se puede ir de Madrid a Sevilla tan rápido en tren como en avión. Guillermo disfrutó tanto como yo nuestro último viaje a Honduras. You can get from Madrid to Sevilla as quickly by train as by plane. Guillermo enjoyed our last trip to Honduras as much as I did. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tan and tanto can also be used for emphasis, rather than to compare: so much tantos/as so many ¡El viaje es tan largo! The trip is so long! ¡Viajas tanto! You travel so much! ¿Siempre traes tantas maletas? Do you always bring so many suitcases? © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Superlatives, most, least, -est Use this construction to form superlatives (superlativos). The noun is preceded by a definite article, and de is the equivalent of in, on, or of. Use que instead of de when the second part of the superlative construction is a verb or a clause. Ésta es la playa más bonita de todas. Es el hotel menos caro que he visto. This is the prettiest beach of them all. It is the least expensive hotel I’ve seen. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

The noun may also be omitted (pronoun) from a superlative construction. Me gustaría comer en el restaurante más elegante de la ciudad. I would like to eat at the most elegant restaurant in the city. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Absolute superlatives The suffix –ísimo/a is added to adjectives and adverbs to form the absolute superlative. This form is the equivalent of extremely, very or SUPER before an adjective or adverb in English. malo  malísimo mucha  muchísima difícil  dificilísimo fácil  facilísimo © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

(continued) Adjectives and adverbs with stems ending in c, g, or z change spelling to qu, gu, and c in the absolute superlative. -car, -gar, -zar anyone? Adjectives that end in –n or –r form the absolute superlative by adding –císimo/a. rico  riquísimo larga  larguísima feliz  felicísimo joven  jovencísimo © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

When grande and pequeño/a refer to size and not age or quality, the regular comparative and superlative forms are used. Ernesto es mayor que yo. Ese edificio es el más grande de todos. Ernesto is older than I am. That building is the biggest one of all. © by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

When mayor and menor refer to age, they follow the noun they modify When mayor and menor refer to age, they follow the noun they modify. When they refer to quality, they precede the noun.

My father drives worse than the tourists! Tú puedes hacerlo bien por ti mismo. Ayúdame, que tú lo haces mejor que yo. You can do it well by yourself.
