Let’s talk…Comparisons!
Comparisons are used to indicate which of 2
people/things has a lesser, equal, or greater degree
of a quality.
Examples:
My sister is taller than me.
I am less boring than she is. (more fun)
I am as short as she is.
Comparisons of Equality:
 To form a comparison of equality:
Use the following equations…
Tan +
adjective + como = “as … as”
adverb
Tan/Tanto/a (s)
are also used for
emphasis rather
than to
compare!
*Tanto/a (s) + noun + como = “as much/many as”
Example:
Yo no tengo tanto dinero como Donald Trump.
Verb +
tanto como = “as much as”
Example:
Yo no como tanto como mi hermana.
Comparisons of Equality Examples:
• David es tan alto como su mamá, Susie.
• Susie es tan alta como su hijo, David.
tan….como =
“as….as”
* Note that the adjective MUST
always agree (in gender and
number) with the noun that’s
before it.
(David/alto, Susie/alta)
 To form a comparison of inequality:
Use the equations…
más/menos + adjective + que = “than”
adverb
noun
Verb + más/menos que = “more/less than”
*NOTE: In English we use adjectives like taller, but these
forms DO NOT exist in Spanish. In Spanish, you
would have to say más alto(a) = more tall!
Example:
Sofía es más alta que yo.
Comparison of Inequality –
Examples:
• Me gusta mirar la televisión más que estudiar.
(noun)
Exception: You must use “de” when using the
phrases más & menos with numbers!
• Tenemos más de veinte estudiantes en esta clase.
• Hay menos de cinco minutos para estudiar.
La langosta es más rica que las arvejas.
Las arvejas son menos ricas que la langosta.
(adjective)
Susana come menos arvejas que Enrique.
(noun)
Mayor/Menor + que = older/younger than
Mayor (older) & Menor (younger) can be used in 2 different ways:
1) As descriptive adjectives they go after the noun they describe.
Examples:
Mi hermana mayor
Mi hermano menor
2) To make comparisons, mayor & menor are followed by “que”
Examples:
Pablo es menor que Ana.
Yo soy mayor que mis primos.
Mejor/Peor + que = better/worse than
• Mejor (better) & Peor (worse) are followed by “que”.
Example:
Yo juego al tenis mejor que Sra. Stribling.
Let’s make some comparisons!
• Students will express their opinions by moving
to opposite ends of the classroom based on
their answer (middle of room for tan….como).
• One person in each group will write their
opinion on their group’s whiteboard.
Example:
¿Quién es más alta: Mary Kate o Ashley?
__________ es tan alta como __________.
¿Quién es más grande: Sully o Mike Wazowski?
¿Quién es más guapo:
