Comparativos en inglés: reglas y ejemplos

Karten in diesem Stapel (10)
- 1For most adjectives with one syllable (short adjectives), we add the "-er" ending to form their comparative:Examples:
small / smaller
fast / faster
cheap / cheaper
- 2For short adjectives ending in "-e", just add "-r":Examples:
wide / wider
nice / nicer
safe / safer - 3For short adjectives tthat end in a vowel and a consonant, make a double consonant and add "-er":Examples:
fat / fatter
thin / thinner
big / bigger
- 4For short adjectives ending in "-y", change the "y" to "i" and add the ending "-er":Examples:
dry / drier
heavy / heavier
happy / happier
- 5For many adjectives with 2 or more syllables, we use "more" plus the original adjective: more+adjectiveExamples:
expensive / more expensive
beautiful / more beautiful
generous / more generous
- 6Some adjectives have a special comparative form:Examples:
good / better
bad / worse
- 7For affirmative sentences we use the word "than" after the comparative to make the comparison:Unique example:
Victor is workshop than Adrian.
Plural example:
Those shoes are better than yours. - 8As you can see in these examples, in the first four we compared in the singular and in the second set of examples plurals were seen, I wanted to put them this way to differentiate the use of the auxiliary of the verb "to be" in both cases: when we talk about singular "is" and plural "are".Note: When we do not mention the 2 things, "than" is not used:
Examples:
That book is cheaper
My bed is more comfortable - 9Until now we have seen examples of sentences in which comparisons with "more" were made, but it is also possible to make comparisons of "less" by putting the word "less" before long adjectives. In this case the adjective does not change. lees+adjectiveExamples:
This country is less dangerous than yours.
Patty is less extroverted than Mary. - 10In negative sentences we use the negative verb form "to be" and the structure "as adjective as", depending on whether we speak in the singular or plural.Unique example:
I'm not as fat as John.
Plural example:
Scary movies are not as fun as comedies.
