1) Comparative Adjectives: Superiority: for short adjectives, we add –ER to them and it is followed by THAN, for example taller than. For long adjectives, we add MORE before the adjective and THAN after it, for eg. “More intelligent than”. Inferiority: we use less + adjective + than, e.g. Audi is less expensive than Ferrari. Equality: we use as + adjective + as, with no changes in the adjective, e.g. John is as tall as Ivan. There are three exceptions: good turns into “better”, bad into “worse” and far into “further”. Complete the sentences with the comparative forms for the following adjectives: expensive, comfortable, good, tall. a) A car is ___________________a bus. b) A truck is ___________________________ a bike. c) Del Potro is _______________________ Schwartzman. d) Argentinian football players are ___________________ Ecuador´s players. 2) Superlative Adjectives: Superiority: for short adjectives, we add–EST to them and it is preceded by THE, for example “the tallest in the class”. For long adjectives, we add MOST before the adjective and THE before it, for e.g. “the most intelligent student”. Inferiority: we use the least + adjective, e.g. Mozambique is one of the least developed countries in the world. There are three exceptions: good turns into “the best”, bad into “the worst” and far into “the furthest”. Complete the sentences with the superlative forms for the following adjectives: bad, good, old, interesting. a) Is Rome ___________________ city in Europe? b) That horrible city is _______________________ in this country. c) That´s ___________________________ book in the library. d) Messi is ______________________ football player around the world. 3) Rewrite the sentences using these connectors: because, that´s why, although (aunque), so (entonces). E.g.: I hate vegetables. I eat them to keep healthy. Although I hate vegetables, I eat them to keep healthy. a) He is interested in German. He isn´t interested in learning it. b) Jim is happy. He bought a car. c) Sam is dangerous. Don´t talk to him alone. d) I like horror films. I watch all kinds of these films. e) Joseph stayed home last weekend. He was sick.
