Presentation transcript:

© and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.8A.2-1 Punto di partenza You have already learned how to form comparisons of equality. Use comparatives of inequality to compare two people, things, or qualities that are not equal.

© and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.8A.2-2 To compare two subjects in relation to the same quality, use the construction più + [adjective, adverb, or noun] + di to express more... than. La nave è più grande di una barca. The ship is bigger than a boat. Hai preso più multe di Michele. You got more fines than Michele.

© and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.8A.2-3 Use the construction meno + [adjective, adverb, or noun] + di to express less/fewer... than. Una gondola è meno veloce di un traghetto. A gondola is slower than a ferry. Ha avuto meno incidenti di Isa? He had fewer accidents than Isa?
