1. Making comparisons
We use “más …que” and “menos . . .que” to compare two things.
For example: 1. La lámpara es más grande que el despertador.
2. “The Voice” es menos popular que “The Walking Dead”.
“más que” = more. . . than “menos que” = less. . . than
The adjectives “bueno, malo, viejo, joven” and the adverbs “bien, mal” have their own comparative forms. “Más y menos” are NOT used with theses comparative adjectives and adverbs.
