    [reveal-answer q=”616173″]Comparaciones[/reveal-answer]
    [hidden-answer a=”616173″]

    Comparaciones de igualdad

    Tan + (adjetivo/adverbio) + como

    tanto + (masculine singular noun) + como
    tanta + (feminine singular noun) + como
    tantos + (masculine plural noun) + como
    tantas + (feminine plural noun) + como

    To compare two actions, the structure is simply:

    (Verbo) + tanto como

    Comparaciones de desigualdad

    más + (adjective) + que
    menos + (adjective) + que

    bien: mejor (better)
    mal: peor (worse)

    Nouns are compared in the same way:

    más + (noun) + que
    menos
    + (noun) + que

    For inequality with verbs, be sure to switch the order of the words, as below:

    verbo + más que
    verbo + menos que

    When we compare nouns with numbers, using the number as a reference point for the more or less statement, we switch the “que” to “de”.

    más de + número
    menos de + número

    [reveal-answer q=”171150″]El superlativo[/reveal-answer]
    [hidden-answer a=”171150″]

    el/la/los/las + (noun) + más/menos + (adjective) + de

    Some adjectives have irregular comparative forms which you saw when discussing comparisons of inequality. When applied to the superlative constructions they retain their irregular forms:

    definite article + irregular comparative form + de

    bueno → el mejor (the best)
    malo → el peor (the worst)
    grande → el mayor (the oldestpeople)
    pequeño → el menor (the youngestpeople)
