  1. LOS COMPARATIVOS

  2. 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.

  3. En inglés… • Most comparisons are made by adding –er to an adjective. • Person #1 is ______-er than Person #2. • Choose two classmates and practice making a few comparisons now. • Did you run across any adjectives that don’t work with –ER on the end? What were they?

  4. En español • -ER doesn’t exist so Spanish speakers use: • “MÁS + adjective + que” for more than • han“MENOS + adjective + que” for less than • This formula works for almost every adjective in the whole language.  Españolesmásfácilqueinglés. •  Españoltienemenosexcepcionesqueinglés. 

  9. LAS 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.

  10. 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. Minors can’t vote, drink, smoke or see “R” movies bc they are young!

  11. Unosejemplos • Taco Bell espeorque Subway. (Taco Bell is worse than Subway.) • Burger King esmejorque McDonalds. (Burger King is better than McDonalds) • Yo soy mayor que mi hermana. (I am older than my sister) Notice, no MÁS or MENOS in these sentences!

  15. 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: Person #1 +TAN + adj./adverb + COMO + person #2.

  16. Jessica es tan rubiacomo Britney Jessica simpson Britney spears

  17. LeBrones tan atléticocomo Shaq LeBronjames Shaquille o’neal

  18. Practiquemos (equal + adjective) Taylor Lautner Robert Patterson

  19. Equal comparisons with nouns • If what you are comparing is countable, there are choices for the formula. Since most things in Spanish agree, we have 4 choices: • Tanto + single masc. nouns • Tanta + single femin. nouns • Tantos + plural masc. nouns • Tantas + plural femin. nouns

  20. Yotengotantosperroscomoél. YO ÉL

  21. Yotengo _____ tarea ____ Paco. YO Paco

  22. Ellosgastan ___dinero ___yo. Ellos yo

  23. 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. • Tanto/a, tantos/as for things you can count.
