COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES
When we want to compare TWO PEOPLE, OBJECTS, PLACES or ANIMALS, we use

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES.
For example:
 THE WEATHER IN BUENOS AIRES IS WARM. (El adjetivo WARM sólo describe una cualidad.)
 THE WEATHER IN USHUAIA IS COLD. (El adjetivo COLD sólo describe una cualidad.)
If I compare them, I can say:
 THE WEATHER IN BUENOS AIRES IS WARMER THAN THE WEATHER IN USHUAIA.
(El adjetivo WARMER describe una cualidad que compara el clima de dos provincias.)
 THE WEATHER IN USHUAIA IS COLDER THAN THE WEATHER IN BUENOS AIRES.
(El adjetivo COLDER describe una cualidad que compara el clima en dos provincias.)
THE WEATHER IN BUENOS AIRES IS WARMER THAN THE WEATHER IN USHUAIA.
= EL CLIMA EN BUENOS AIRES ES MÁS CÁLIDO QUE EL CLIMA EN USHUAIA.
ONE/TWO-SYLLABLE ADJECTIVE + -ER (in English) = MÁS + ADJETIVO (in Spanish)
THAN (in English) = QUE (in Spanish)
56
 ENTRE RÍOS IS SUNNIER THAN BUENOS AIRES.
(El adjetivo SUNNIER describe una cualidad que compara dos provincias.)
ENTRE RÍOS IS SUNNIER THAN BUENOS AIRES.
= ENTRE RÍOS ES MÁS SOLEADA QUE BUENOS AIRES.
TWO-SYLLABLE ADJECTIVE ending in Y + IER (in English) = MÁS + ADJETIVO (in Spanish)
 THE GRAND CANYON IS MORE POPULAR THAN MOUNT EVEREST.
(El adjetivo MORE POPULAR describe una cualidad que compara dos atracciones turísticas.)
THE GRAND CANYON IS MORE POPULAR THAN MOUNT EVEREST.
= EL GRAN CAÑÓN ES MÁS POPULAR QUE EL MONTE EVEREST.
LONG ADJECTIVES: MORE + ADJECTIVE = MÁS + ADJETIVO
LET’S MAKE A SUMMARY!! 
COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES
SHORT ADJECTIVES ADJECTIVE –ER + THAN
SHORT ADJECTIVIES ending in Y ADJECTIVE Y  I –ER + THAN
LONG ADJECTIVES MORE + ADJECTIVE + THAN
GOOD  BETTER + THAN
IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES BAD  WORSE + THAN

LANGUAGE FOCUS:
We use SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES when we want to expresses the extreme or highest

degree of a quality. We use a SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVE to describe the extreme quality of
one thing in a group of things.
For example:
 MOUNT EVEREST IS A TALL MOUNTAIN. (El adjetivo TALL solo describe una cualidad.)
But, if I compare Mount Everest with the rest of mountains in the world, I can say:
 MOUNT EVEREST IS THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD.
(El adjetivo TALLEST describe una cualidad extrema que compara al Mount Everest con el resto de las
montañas del mundo.)
61
MOUNT EVEREST IS THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD.
= EL MONTE EVEREST ES LA MONTAÑA MÁS ALTA DEL MUNDO.
THE + ONE/TWO-SYLLABLE ADJECTIVE + -EST (in English)
LA/LAS/EL/LOS + MÁS + ADJETIVO (in Spanish)
 WELLINGTON, IN AUSTRALIA, IS THE WINDIEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
(El adjetivo WINDIEST describe una cualidad extrema que compara a la ciudad Wellington con el resto de
las ciudades del mundo.)
WELLINGTON, IN AUSTRALIA, IS THE WINDIEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
= WELLINGTON, EN AUSTRALIA, ES LA CIUDAD MÁS VENTOSA DEL MUNDO.
THE + TWO-SYLLABLE ADJECTIVE ending in Y + -IEST (in English)
 NIAGARA FALLS ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURAL WONDER.
(El adjetivo MOST BEAUTIFUL describe una cualidad extrema que compara a una de las maravillas
naturales en relación al resto.)
62
NIAGARA FALLS ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURAL WONDER.
LAS CATARATAS DEL NIÁGARA SON LA MARAVILLA NATURAL MÁS HERMOSA.
LONG ADJECTIVES: THE MOST + ADJECTIVE (in English)
LET’S MAKE A SUMMARY!! 
SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES
SHORT ADJECTIVES THE + ADJECTIVE –EST
SHORT ADJECTIVIES ending in Y THE + ADJECTIVE Y  I –EST
LONG ADJECTIVES THE MOST + ADJECTIVE
GOOD  THE BEST
IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES BAD  THE WORST
