This reference describes the first two forms of comparisons, how to form them, and when to use them. Comparison of Equality To say that two nouns are equal, the following formula is used: Equality Formula tan + adjective + como (as...as) The adjective must match the first noun as it is the subject of the comparison. Sara es tan alta como tu hermano. (Sara is as tall as your brother.) Tu coche es tan rápido como su coche. (Your car is as fast as his car.) Comparison of Inequality To compare two nouns as being different from one another, the following formulas are used: Inequality Formula más + adjective + que (more. . .than) OR menos + adjective + que (less. . .than) The adjective must match the first noun as it is the subject of the comparison. Samuel es más artístico que ella. (Samuel is more artistic than her.) Ella es menos artística que Samuel. (She is less artistic than Samuel.) Una casa es más cara que un coche. (A house is more expensive than a car.) Un coche es menos caro que una casa. (A car is less expensive than a house.) 2 Correct Answers! Notice that you can state each comparison two ways A is more ___|__ than B. B is less ___|__ than A. You can also compare the inequality of two nouns by negating the comparison of equality: Negation Formula no + verb + tan + adjective + como (not as ... as) Pedro no es tan alto como su hermano. (Pedro is not as tall as your brother.) Tu coche no es tan rápido como su coche. (Your car is not as fast as his car.) Exceptions There are a few adjectives that can compare nouns without the use of the formulas above. With these adjectives, you do NOT need to use más or menos. The adjective itself is a comparison word and only needs que afterwards to mean "than." One Word Comparisons mejor better peor worse mayor larger mayor older menor younger Soy mayor que mi hermana. (I am older than my sister.) Esta pizza es mejor que esa pizza. (This pizza is better than that pizza.) La segunda película es peor que la primera. (The second movie is worse than the first.)
