C ONTENTS Comparatives and examples. Short adjectives. Long adjectives. Irregular adjectives. De inferioridad. De igualdad. De superioridad. Superlatives and examples. Short adjectives Long adjectives.

C OMPARATIVES Short adjectives -Adjectives of just one syllable form the comparative by adding "-er": Bright … brighter Clear … clearer Fast … faster -If a one syllable adjective ends in "e", simply add "r": Nice … nicer Fine … finer Ripe … riper -For some adjectives, it is necessary to double the last letter before adding "-er". Big … bigger Slim … slimmer Flat … flatter

-If the adjective has got two syllables and finish with “-y” we said that it is short. And we change “-y” for “–i” and we add “–er”. Happy … happier Funny … funnier Easy …easier -Adjectives of two syllables are more complicated. Most adjectives of two syllables form the comparative with "more": Famous …more famous Thankful … more thankful Boring …more boring Faithless … more faithless

Long adjectives -All adjectives of three or more syllables form the comparative with "more ". Beautiful …more beautiful Comfortable … more comfortable Typical … more typical Irregular adjectives In addition, there are some (common) irregular comparative adjectives: Good or well…better Bad…worse Far…farther or further Little (quantity)…less Much … more Ill …worse Old …older or elder

De superioridad. -we use more… than in longs and add –er than in shorts s. She is faster than me. l. Shoes are more expensive than sandals. De igualdad. - we use as + adjective*+ as John is as tall as you. *it doesn’t matter if the adjective is short or long De inferioridad. - we use less + adjective* + than. The film is less interestins than the book. *it doesn’t matter if the adjective is short or long

SUPERLATIVES Form superlative forms of a one-syllable adjective by adding – est. Tall…tallest Old…oldest Long…longest With most two-syllable adjectives, you form the superlative with the most. Peaceful…the most peaceful Pleasant...the most pleasant Careful…the most careful Thoughtful…the most thoughtful
