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!

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.
