GRAMMAR BOOK. Pag. 150. MAKING COMPARISONS
+ Comparativos y superlativos: Significado
Comparan y separan dos cosas. Ej: Mary is taller than Monica.
Superlativos comparan una cosa con otras cosas. Ej: Sarah is the best player in the town
+ Comparativos y superlativos: Forma
- Una sílaba
Los adjetivos comparativos con una sola sílaba se forman añadiendo -er al final del adjetivo.
Las palabras con una sílaba que terminan en una consonante, se añade la última consonante.
Las palabras que terminan en consonante + -y, se cambia la -y por -i.
Ej: long -- longer / big -- bigger / dry -- drier
Los adjetivos superlativos se forman añadiendo -est al adjetivo
Ej: long -- the longest / big -- the biggest / dry -- the driest
- Dos sílabas o más
Los adjetivos comparativos con dos o más sílabas se forman normalmente con more
Ej: modern -- more modern / interesting -- more interesting
Los adjetivos superlativos se forman normalmente con the most
Ej: modern -- the most modern / interesting -- the most interesting
Algunos adjetivos con dos sílabas se pueden formar de otra forma:
Ej: common -- commoner (comp.) -- the commonest (superl.)
common -- more common (comp) -- the most common (superl)
Otros ejemplos incluyen: quiet, tired, clever, polite, simple
Normalmente usamos "the" con un superlativo + sustantivo.
Ej: Sarah is the best swimmer
El superlativo tambien puede ser usado sin el nombre
Ej: Sarah is the best
+ Formas irregulares
good -- better -- the best / bad -- worse -- the worst / little -- less -- the least
far -- further, farther -- the farthest, the furthest / much, many -- more -- the most
Y ahi un uso especial de "old" para describir miembros de una familia tiene forma irregular:
old -- elder -- the eldest. Ej: This is my elder brothers / Jane is their eldest daughter
+ Adverbios
Los adverbios comparativos y superlativos se forman de la misma manera que los adjetivos.
Muchos adverbios cortos comunes pueden formar comparativos de dos maneras:
slow -- slower -- more slowly / quick -- quicker -- more quickly / loud -- louder -- more loudly
Tambien utilizan esta forma los adverbios: loud, quick, slow
+ Haciendo comparaciones
- THAN se usa con un comparativo para comparar dos cosas
Ej: Mary is better than Monica / Mary is a better player than Monica
- Cuando comparamos acciones, usamos un auxiliar al final de la frase en lugar de la forma verbal
Ej: Mary plays better than Monica does (NO ... than Monica plays)
You've done more work than I have (NO ... than I have done)
También se puede decir: Mary plays better than Monica / You've done more work than me
- Utilizamos "just as ... as" para comparar dos cosas que son iguales
Ej: Mary is just as good as Cathy / Mary is just as good a player as Cathy
- Usamos "not as ... as" para comparar dos cosas que no son iguales
Ej: Cathy is not as good as Mary / Cathy is not as good a player as Mary
- "More... than" y "less ... than"
Ej: This game is more interesting than last one / I think this game is less interesting than that one
+ Intensificadores
Utilizamos adverbios de grado "a bit, much, a lot, far, etc." con los comparativos
Ej: This house is much/a lot/ far bigger than that one
The Italian film was much more interesting than this one
That film was far less frightening than this one
