Making comparisons in Spanish

First situation: In order to talk about inequality we use the comparative form of the adjective: taller, shorter, bigger, more handsome, more intelligent… –In English, sometimes we put an –er on the end of the word. –Sometimes we use more. Look at the following sentence: Fred is taller than Bob.

And in Spanish? Frank is taller than John. Paco es más alto que Juan. We use the expression más + adjective/adverb/noun + que to compare two people, places, things,etc. Note that the adjective alto agrees with the subject (Paco). Or in other words, the first noun.

Lets try a few. Maria is more serious than Pablo. Julio is funnier than Guillermo. Pedro is shorter than Marisol. There are more boys than girls.

¡Bien! Maria es más seria que Pablo. Julio es más cómico que Guillermo. Pedro es más bajo que Marisol. Hay más chicos que chicas. (notice that the adjective in each case matches in gender to the first person mentioned in the sentence)

Another way to talk about inequality: We can also make comparisons in English by stating: Mary is less fun than Anne. In Spanish this will be expressed using the phrase: menos + adjective/adverb/noun + que Maria es menos divertida que Ana.

Lets practice with menos…que: I read less slowly than her. English class is less boring than math class. Rodrigo is less artistic than Marcos. Elena has less hair than Pilar.

Y las respuestas son… Yo leo menos lentamente que ella. La clase de inglés es menos aburrida que la clase de matemáticas. Rodrigo es menos artístico que Marcos. Elena tiene menos pelo que Pilar.

Some irregular comparative words… Mayor- older –Mis abuelos son mayores que mi primo. –Mi padre es mayor que mi madre. My grandparents are older than my cousin. My father is older than my mother.

More irregulars… Menor- younger –Mi prima es menor que mi hermano. –Mis padres son menores que mis tíos. My cousin is younger than my brother. My parents are younger than my uncles.

And another one… Mejor- better –Felipe toca la guitarra mejor que Camila. –Mariana juega al fútbol mejor que Nora. Felipe plays the guitar better than Camila. Mariana plays soccer better than Nora.

The last one… Peor- worse –Susana toca el piano peor que Sara. –Jorge dibuja peor que Julia. Susana plays the piano worse than Sara. George draws worse than Julia.

Making unequal comparisons when there is no adjective… When comparing activities use the following phrases: –más que… –menos que… –Me gusta las galletas más que el pastel. –Yo como menos que mi hermano mayor.

Ahora…ustedes háganla Ella estudia _____ _____ tú. (more than) Nosotros trabajamos ______ ______ ellos. (less than)

To express equality: Fred is as tall as Frank. When we say that two people (or places, or objects, etc.) are the same, we use as… as in English. How do we do this in Spanish?

Equality Paco es tan alto como Luis. Marta es tan alta como Ana. In Spanish, we use the words tan + adjective/adverb + como to express equality. (as…as) Again, note that the adjective changes to agree with the first person (Paco/alto, Marta/alta) that we talk about.

Lets practice! Paco is as rich as José. Paco es ___ ____ ___ José. David is as lazy as Patricia. Patricia es ___ ____ ___ David. We work as quickly as them. Nosotros trabajamos _____ ______ ______ ellos.

¡Muy bien! Paco es tan rico como José. Patricia es tan perezosa como David. Nosotros trabajamos tan rápidamente como ellos.

More equal comparisons Tanto (a, os, as) + noun + como –As many/much…as –Examples: La sopa tiene tanta pimienta como sal. Mi restaurante favorito tiene tantos postres como tu restaurante favorito.

Practicamos: Mi padre tiene ______ libros ______ una biblioteca. Sra. Perry tiene _______ estudiantes _______ Sra. Davis. El pastel tiene _______ azúcar ______ el helado. En la clase hay _______ chicas ______ chicos.

Making equal comparisons when there is no adjective… To compare activities and say as much…as use the following phrase: –tanto como… –Yo cocino tanto como ella. –Ella habla tanto como tú. –Nosotros corremos tanto como él.
