In this Spanish grammar lesson you will learn how to use comparative forms to make comparisons between two people or things.
For example: you will learn the Spanish grammatical structure for expressions such as: “James is taller than Samuel” or “Maria is as intelligent as Sarah” or “He is the richest man in the world.”
Superiority:
The superior form of comparison uses the following structure:
más + (adjective/adverb) + que
For example:
James is taller than Samuel.
James es más alto que Samuel.
Jennifer corre más rápido que Candy.
Tienes más dinero que yo.
The inferior form of comparison uses the same structure as the superior form, except the word menos (less) is substituted for the word más (more).
menos + (adjective/adverb) + que
For example:
My house is smaller than your house.
Mi casa es menos grande que tu casa.
Ella trabaja menos duro que yo.
Rick es menos inteligente que Rita.
The equal form of comparison uses the following structure:
tan + (adjective/adverb) + como
For example:
You are as pretty as her.
Eres tan linda como ella.
Jack baila tan bien como Tina.
The superlative form indicates the superiority of one person or thing in comparison to all others.
It uses the following form:
(el/la/los/las) + (más/menos) + de
For example:
He is the richest man in the world.
El es el hombre más rico del mundo.
El es el hombre más guapo de la ciudad.
Ella es la menos gorda de todas
Jennifer runs faster than Candy.
You have more money than me.
Inferiority:
She doesn’t work as hard as I do.
Rick isn’t as smart as Rita.
Equality:
Jack dances as well as Tina.
Superlative:
He is the best looking man in the city.
She is the skinniest of all of them.
