LOS COMPARATIVOS

Comparisons of Equality Tan = as (1) Tanto (a) = as much Tantos (as) = as many Como = as (2)

Comparisons of Equality When the comparing is between 2 people or things that are equitable we have to make some choices: First, ask yourself if what you are comparing is “countable” (noun) or “not countable” (adverb, adjective) If it is not countable, the formula is: #1 es +TAN + adj+ COMO + #2.

Equal comparisons with nouns If what you are comparing is countable, there are 4 choices for the formula: Tanto + single masc. nouns Tanta + single femin. nouns Tantos + plural masc. nouns Tantas + plural femin. nouns

Comparing using adjectives tan + adjective +como tan talentoso como

Comparing using nouns ___ + noun + ____ tanto/a + singular noun + como tanto pelo como tantos/as + plural noun + como tantas fiestas como

Comparing using verbs Verb ____ + ____ Verb tanto + como Corre tanto como

Read in English Mi perro tiene tanto pelo como tu perro. (noun) Mi perro va a tantas fiestas como tu perro. (noun) Mi perro corre tanto como tu perro. (verb) Mi perro es tan talentoso como tu perro. (adjective)

Complete the pattern with tan, tanto, tanta, tantos, tantas, como ___ canciones ___ Tantas canciones como ___ creativa___ Tan creativa como ___ difíciles ___ Tan difíciles como ___ dinero ___ Tanto dinero como ___ divertido ___ Tan divertido como ___ miembros ___ Tantos miembros como ___ pelo ___ Tanto pelo como Correr ____ ____ Correr tanto como

Comparisons of inequality When one person or thing is more or less than another person or thing. EX: Spanish is more fun than history. EX: Spanish is less difficult than math. EX: Marco is taller than Adriana.

In English… Most comparisons are made by adding –er to an adjective. Person #1 is ______-er than Person #2.

En español -ER doesn’t exist so Spanish speakers use: “MÁS + adjective + que” for more than “MENOS + adjective + que” for less than This formula works for almost every adjective in the whole language.  Español es más fácil que inglés.  Español tiene menos excepciones que inglés. 

If the comparative is followed by a number, use de rather than que. Hay menos de veinte alumnos en la clase. There are less than twenty students in the class. Él tiene más de noventa años. He is more than ninety years old. (Literally: He has more than ninety years.)

Excepciones In English we don’t use “gooder” or “badder” or “funner” or “difficulter” or many other adjectives that require modification. These are called EXCEPTIONS. Spanish has only 4 exceptions. These four adjectives change completely, and never take MÁS or MENOS in front of them.

No MÁS o MENOS with these! BUENO  MEJOR (BETTER) MALO  PEOR (WORSE) JOVEN  MENOR (YOUNGER) VIEJO  MAYOR (OLDER) A couple of tricks to help you remember them: Mayor (old): Mayors of cities are older people. Menor (young): like minor.

Ejemplos Notice, no MÁS or MENOS in these sentences. Taco Bell es peor que Subway. (Taco Bell is worse than Subway.) Five Guys es mejor que McDonalds. (Five Guys is better than McDonalds) Yo soy mayor que mi hermana. (I am older than my sister) Mi estudiante es menor que yo. (My student is younger than me) Notice, no MÁS or MENOS in these sentences.

Important to remember… Más/menos + que for unequal comparisons Bueno, malo, joven, viejo are exceptions change forms. (mejor,peor,mayor,menor) These 4 exceptions don’t use a más or menos. Tan + como for equal comparisons of things you can’t count. (adjectives, adverbs) Tanto/a, tantos/as for things you can count. (nouns)
