COMPARATIVE

COMPARATIVEThe comparative of inferiorityThe comparative of inferiority is used following this structure:Less than + adjective + ("than" may not be necessary)Less + adjective + that
This car is less fast (than this motorbike) This car is slower (this bike).This car is less expensive (than this motorbike) This car is less expensive (this bike).English is seldom used the comparative inferiority. Usually turns to a sentence to use the comparative superiority
  
This bike is faster than this car
The comparative of equality:The comparative of equality uses the following structure:As + adjective + as
 
As + adjective + asThis car is as fast As This motorbike> This car is as fast as this bike.This car is as expensive As This motorbike> This car is as expensive as this bike.
Of course, any sentence of this style can be negative:This car is not as fast As This motorbike> This car is not as fast as estamoto
The comparative of superiority:In the comparative superiority we must take into account the number of syllables in the adjective, since according to this training will be one way or another:


• 1-syllable adjectives:
 
Adjective +-er + than ("than" may not be necessary)More + adjective + that-
 
This car is faster (than this motorbike)> This car is faster (which estamoto).Those one-syllable adjectives ending in consonant-vowel-consonant double their final consonant before adding er

 
Big> bigger
• adjectives of 3 or more syllables:More + adjective + than ("than" may not be necessary)More + adjective + that-
 
This car is more expensive (than this motorbike)> This car is more expensive (this bike).
Adjectives of 2 syllables Some adjectives of 2 syllables used the first structure (-er) while others use the second (more). There are no rules to tell us which of the two structures must be used with a particular adjective of two syllables. We will have to learn adjective by adjective.- Nice> nicer- Modern> more modern2-syllable adjectives ending in e add only r:Fine> finer2-syllable adjectives ending in and change the y to an i and add er:- Happy> happier- Easy> Easier
