Transcript comparativos y superlativos

Comparatives and Superlatives
Para formar el comparativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas:
Se agrega al adjetivo "er" o "r", si ya termina en "e".
small - smaller
Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la consonante.
big - bigger
Si termina en "y" se cambia por "ier".
happy - happier
FAST – FASTER
SLOW – SLOWER
FUNNY – FUNNIER
BIG – BIGGER
CHEAP – CHEAPER
Cuando el adjetivo tiene más de tres sílabas, el
comparativo se forma usando la palabra "more"
adelante.
expensive - more expensive
careful - more careful
Para comparar dos objetos en una oración, se
agrega "than".
This shirt is smaller than that shirt.
Esta camisa es más chica que aquella camisa.
MORE = MÁS
BEAUTIFUL – MORE BEAUTIFUL
HANDSOME – MORE HANDSOME
EXPENSIVE – MORE EXPENSIVE
THAN = “QUÉ”
JESÚS IS FASTER THAN ROBERT
AMARA IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN
SHAKIRA
The black cloud is bigger than the blue sun
The blue sun is more beautiful than the black cloud.
The black cloud is prettier than the blue sun

Los superlativos sirven para referirse a sustantivos que son los
únicos que presentan una cualidad que los diferencia del resto.
Como vimos, en la frase "a small shirt" (una camisa chica), small
es un adjetivo. Si todas las demás camisas son grandes, se puede
comparar usando el superlativo "the smallest shirt" (la camisa
más chica). Siempre se agrega "the" adelante.
Para formar el superlativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas:
Se agrega al adjetivo "est" o "st", si ya termina en "e".
small - the smallest
Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la
consonante.
big - the biggest
Si termina en "y" se cambia por "iest".
happy - the happiest
Cuando el adjetivo tiene más de tres sílabas, el superlativo se forma usando las
palabras "the most" adelante.
expensive - the most expensive
careful - the most careful
Existen ciertos adjetivos con comparativos y superlativos irregulares. La única
