Adjeticves- Comparatives- Superlatives- Comparatives of equality

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns (people, animals, things, places, or ideas). They give more information about the quality, size, color, shape, quantity, or condition of something.

What Are Adjectives Used For?

Adjectives are used to:

1. Describe physical characteristics

• a tall man, a small house

2. Express emotions or qualities

• a happy child, a boring movie

3. Indicate quantity or number

• three cats, many books

4. Show possession

• my phone, her jacket

5. Point out something specific

• this book, those shoes

Basic Formula

1. Adjective before the noun

Formula:

Adjective + Noun

Examples:

• A red apple

• An old car

• A beautiful house

1-Regular adjectives 

Regulas adjectives form their comparative form by adding the particle "ER"to the end of the adjective plus the word  "THAN, and their superlative form is formed by placing the article "THE" before the adjective and adding the word "EST"

2-One syllabe adjectives ending in a consonant procebed By a vowel

Monosyllabic adjectives ending in a single consonant and preceded by a single vowel form their comparative by adding the last consonant and adding er to the adjective plus the word than. These adjectives form the superlative by prefixing the word the to the adjective, doubling the last consonant, and adding the word est to the end of the adjective.

Adjetive	Translation	Comparative	Superlative
Big	Grande	Bigger than	The biggest
Hot	Caliente	Hotter tan	The hottest
Wet	Humedo	Wetter than	The wettest

3-Adjectives Ending in "y"

When a short adjective ends in "-y," a special rule applies to forming its comparative and superlative forms. First, the final "y" is changed to "i," and then "-er" is added for the comparative and "-est" for the superlative. This rule is primarily used with one-syllable adjectives or two-syllable adjectives with the accent on the first syllable. For example, the adjective "happy" becomes "happier" in its comparative form and "happier" in its superlative form. The comparative is used to compare two things or people, while the superlative is used when comparing three or more, indicating that something has the highest degree of a quality. Thus, adjectives like "funny," "lazy," or "angry" follow the same pattern: "funnier/funniest," "lazier/laziest," "angrier/angriest"

verbo	traducción	comparativa	superlativa
feliz	Feliz	más feliz	happiest
divertido	divertido	más divertido	más divertido
perezoso	perezoso	más perezoso	más perezoso
ocupado	oupado	más ocupado	más ocupado
ruidoso	ruidoso	más ruidoso	más ruidoso
afortunado	afortunado	más afortunado	más afortunado
desordenado	Desordenado	más desordenado	más desordenado
enojado	enojado	más enojado	más enojado
sucio	sucio	más sucio	más sucio

4. Two or More Syllable Adjectives

Here's a concise summary of the rules for adjectives with two or more syllables:

• Two-syllable adjectives ending in "-y":

  • Change the "y" to an "i" and add "-er" for the comparative, or "-est" for the superlative.
  • happy → happier → happiest.

• Three or more syllable adjectives (and most two-syllable adjectives not ending in "-y"):

  • Use "more" before the adjective for the comparative.
  • Use "most" before the adjective for the superlative.
  • beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful.

• Some two-syllable adjectives not ending in "-y":

  • Can use both forms (either adding "-er/-est" or using "more/most").
  • clever → cleverer / more clever.

Adjetive	Español	comparative	superlative
Beautiful	Hermosa/o	More beautiful than	The most beautiful
Expensive	Caro/a	More expensive than	The most expensive
Interesting	Interesante	More interesting than	The most interesing
Comfortable	Cómodo/a	More comfortable than	the most  comfortable
intelligent	Inteligente	More intelligent than	The most comfortable

5. Irregular adjectives

Adjectives do not have an exact way of forming their comparative and superlative, so they must be learned by heart.

Adjetive	Español	Comparative	Superlative
Good	Bueno	Better than	The best
Bad	Malo	Worse than	The worst
Far	Lejos	Further than	The forthest

                                                                                                     Luis Tadeo Hernández Mendoza

6. Comparatives of Equality in English

Comparatives of equality are used to state that two things or people are equal in a certain quality; that is, they share the same level of a characteristic.

The structure is very simple:

as + adjective + as

No matter how many syllables the adjective has, you'll always use the same structure:

Noun 1 + verb + as + adjective + as + Noun 2.

Examples:

• My car is as fast as your car.
• She is as tall as her brother.
• This book is as interesting as that movie.
