CALIFICATIVE ADJECTIVES

Calificative adjectives are used todescribe a person, an object, an event, so on. But also we use them for comparing, in that case, we need to know how to classify them according to their length.

|1 syllable|Short adjective |
|2 syllables + vocal final sound |Short adjective |
|2 syllables + consonant final sound|Long adjective |
|3 or more syllables |Long adjective |

COMPARATIVE SENTENCES

When we use short adjectives we have tofollow the grammar structure below:

|1st subject |verb to be |short adjective + suffix |preposition |2nd subject|
|The Nile |is |longer |than |The Amazon. |

Take into account: if themain verb ends with “e” we have to add “r” only, if the main verb ends with “y” we have to change the “y” by “i”, if the main verb ends with the following sequence: consonant + vowel + consonant, wehave to repeat the last consonant.

|safe |safer |
|ugly |uglier|
|fat |fatter |

Watch out!!! There are some irregular adjectives that do not follow the same rule:|good |better |
|bad |worse |
|far...
