Comparisons, Superlatives, & Equal Comparisons

Los Adjetivos… Adjectives have to match in gender in number. Él es alto. Ella es baja.

Comparing to someone else… In English, we add –er to adjectives to make them stronger. He is taller than her. She is shorter than him.

Comparing to someone else… In English, we also use “more” or “less” in front of the adjective. She is more bored than him. He is less bored than her.

Comparing to someone else… In Spanish, there is no –er equivalent. Rather, they use: more/less + adjective + than más/menos + adjetivo + que Ella está más aburrida que él.

El patinaje sobre hielo es menos peligroso que el hockey.

Las chicas son más animadas que los chicos.
