Comparatives and Superlatives

2
Comparing 2 things
Something "is ________-er than" something else
There is no such thing as a suffix that is an equivalent to "-er" in English
So we need to use the words "more than" or "less than"
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ADJECTIVE ENDINGS NEED TO AGREE WITH NOUN THAT THEY ARE DESCRIBING!
3
Formulas to use
más + adjective + que = more ______ than
Ex: Sra. Fishman tiene pelo más corto que Sra. Tinsley.
menos + adjective + que = less ____ than
Ex: Sr. McShea es menos alto que Sr. Heron.
4
Multiple Choice
Nathan (is taller than) John.
está más alto
es menos alto que
es más alto que
es alto más que
5
Multiple Choice

tiene pelo más largo que
tiene pelo largo más

Making a Superlative

8
Multiple Choice
I have the prettiest bedroom in the house = Tengo el dormitorio ______________ en la casa.
NOTICE: In Spanish I have to say "the bedroom most pretty" not "the most pretty bedroom" because MOST adjectives go AFTER the noun that they describe.
AND it needs to agree with it (singular/plural and masculine/feminine)
más bonito
muy feo
muy bonita
más bonita
9
Multiple Choice
I sleep in the smallest bed in the house. = Yo duermo en la cama __________ en la casa.
NOTICE: In Spanish I have to say "the bed most small" not "the most small bed" because MOST adjectives go AFTER the noun that they describe
AND it needs to agree with it (singular/plural and masculine/feminine)
más corto
muy grande
más pequeño
más pequeña
10
Better/best and Worse/Worst
Mejor (better/best) Peor (worse/worst)
These adjectives come IN FRONT of noun that they describe
These adjectives can become plural by adding "-es"
Do NOT use más or menos with these words
Ex: Cardi B is a worse singer than SZA. = Cardi B. es una peor cantante que SZA.
Ex: The best classes are art and music. = Las mejores clases son arte y música.
11

Using "Mayor" and "Menor"

These adjectives go AFTER the noun that they describe
Add "-es" to make them plural
Do not use "más" or "menos" with "joven" and 'viejo" to say more/less young/old
Ex: I am older than my sister = Soy mayor que mi hermana.
