Comparison adjectives
As in Spanish, in English when we compare two things using adjectives and their various degrees: positive, comparative and superlative.
- The positive degree referred to as simply:
A sunny day / A sunny day
- The comparative degree refers to a higher quality of one thing over another.
A Better Day / One daybetter
- The concerns superlative quality at its best:
Today is the best day of the year / Today is the best day of the year
Comparison classes
-COMPARISON OF EQUALITY | |
The adjective is formed sandwiched between construction "as ... as" (Tan .. like) for affirmative and interrogative sentences and "not as ... as" or "not so ... as"for negative statements .
I'm as young as you / soy tanjoven como tú
I am as young as you? / ¿soy tan joven como tú?
I'm not so young as you / no soy tan joven como tú
We can use after the second 'as' the pronoun in the nominative case or accusative (He, His, She, her ...)
He is as young as she, He is as young as her / Él es tan joven como ella
If it is a comparison between two verbs, we use the expression "as much as" (much as) also negativelyShe Does Not Work as much as she should / Ella no trabaja tanto como debería
When the comparison is made between two nouns are used "as much as" to the singular and "as Many as" for the plural.
I have as much work as my boss / Tengo tanto trabajo como mi jefe
I Have as Many pencils as you / Tengo tantos lápices como tú
If we are comparing two countable nouns (books, cars, houses ...) use"as many ... as", but if we are comparing two uncountable nouns (wood, weather, music ...) we will use the construction "as much. as ... "
We Have as Many Books as them /  Tenemos tantos libros como ellos
We Have as much space as them / Tenemos tanto espacio como ellos
- Comparison of inferiority | |
The adjective is formed with the construction sandwiched between "less ... than" (menos. ..that), but is more common to find the equality comparison in a negative way (which has the same meaning.)
He's less Younger than you / Él es menos joven que tú
  He's not as young as you / Él no es tan joven como tú (más usual)
Normally used for countless less and fewer for accountants
- COMPARATIVE OF SUPERIORITY | |
Formed in two ways:
By adding the adjective suffix-er for thecomparative superiority and-est for the superlative.
| | |
| | |
big (grande) | bigger (mas grande ) | Biggest (el más grande ) |
Putting the word more (mas) for the comparative superiority and "the most" for the superlative
intelligent / inteligente
more intelligent /  más inteligente
The Most Intelligent / el más inteligente
The one-syllable adjectives form the comparative andsuperlative with-er,-est

The two syllables that end in er, and ow and you and you have the accent (prosodic) on the last syllable also form the comparative and superlative with-er,-est
