COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE OF ADJECTIVES

RULES: We use the comparative form of adjectives to compare two persons or things.

We usually use than after a comparative adjective.

-Juan is older than Marcos. - Sandra is more friendly than Macarena.

Usamos el comparativo de adjetivos para comparar dos cosas ,personas o animales.Los adjetivos
cortos forman el comparativo agregando ER al adjetivo y la palabra THAN.

George is taller than Tom. .(George es màs alto que Tom)

Si el adjetivo es largo se agrega la palabra MORE antes del adjetivo y luego la palabra THAN.

George is more intelligent than Tom.(George es màs inteligente que tom)
