4 Making Comparisons of Inequality Remember when we used más que to compare two things: Example: La clase de español es más interesante que la clase de matemáticas. Spanish is more interesting than math. In English we make comparisons in a few different ways. We add er to adjectives: for example, slower, shorter, and prettier. We can also use the words more and less before adjectives to make contrasts. In Spanish, there is no ending to add on to adjectives to make comparisons. We use más or menos to associate two things. It will look like this: más + adjective + que or menos + adjective + que Examples: Mi dormitorio es más bonito que tu dormitorio. La lámpara es menos alta que el espejo. My bedroom is prettier than your bedroom. The lamp is less tall than the mirror. ****Note: the adjective agrees with the first noun in the comparisons: dormitorio/bonito, lámpara/alta. There are four adjectives that have irregular comparitives: Bueno becomes MEJOR: Harry Potter es mejor que Twilight. Malo becomes PEOR: Yasiel Puig es peor que Albert Pujols. Viejo becomes MAYOR: Yo soy mayor que mi hermano. Joven becomes MENOR: Yadier es menor que Benji. Now you try it. Translate these sentences: 1. My mother is taller than my father. 2. Lebron is better than Michael. 3. The nightstand is shorter than the bookshelf. 4. Marta is younger than Josefina. 5. Juan is less ugly than Marcelo. 6. The paintings are worse than the posters.

5 The Superlative In English, to form the superlative, we say the + and adjective with est ending. Example: The best, the craziest, the least serious. In Spanish, to form the superlative we use the definite article + más or menos + an adjective. Example: Javier es el más cómico. Patricia es la menos seria. Javier es the funniest. Patricia is the least serious. ****Note: the adjective and the ARTICLE agree with the noun they are describing in the superlative: Javier/el/ cómico, Patricia/la/seria. There are four adjectives that have irregular superlatives, with these you do not use más or menos : Bueno becomes MEJOR: Harry Potter es el mejor. Malo becomes PEOR: Yasiel Puig es el peor. Viejo becomes MAYOR: Yo soy la mayor. Joven becomes MENOR: Hannah es la menor. Now you try it. Translate these sentences: 1. Math class is the best. (use la clase de in this sentence) 2. Anita is the youngest. 3. The lamp is the worst. 4. My most important possession is my cellphone. (use mi in place of the definite article here) 5. You are the oldest of your family. 6. Pablo is the ugliest. 7. Oscar and Paula are the tallest.

Stem-changing verbs: poder and dormir In Spanish, in addition to changing in the ending when conjugated, there are some verbs that change in the stem in all forms except the nosotros.

6 Stem-changing verbs: poder and dormir In Spanish, in addition to changing in the ending when conjugated, there are some verbs that change in the stem in all forms except the nosotros. This results in a boot shape in the chart, where the verb has changed. Write the conjugation chart in these two grids, then, draw a boot around the changes. Poder Remember: CHANGE THE ROOT IN THE BOOT! Dormir ***You have seen poder before. You have used it to say what you can and cannot do. One important thing to remember about this verb is that it is always followed by an infinitive verb. Examples: No puedo comer carne. Puedes nadar? I can t eat meat. Can you swim? You try it. Translate these sentences into Spanish. 1. Daniel sleeps in class. 2. We sleep in the gym. 3. Fernando and María can t go to the office. 4. You guys sleep here. 5. In my opinion, we can t go to school now. 6. I can t share my bedroom.

7 Lógico o ilógico? In each of these sentences, put an L in the space provided if the sentence is logical, if it makes sense. Put an I in the space if it is illogical. If it is illogical, change it to be logical and rewrite it in the space provided. 1. En mi familia, hacemos la cama todos los días. 2. Duermo en la piscina. 3. Ellos escuchan música con sus tenedores. 4. No comparto mi dormitorio. Es mi propio dormitorio. 5. La pared es más pequeña que el despertador. 6. Usas la lámpara cuando lees. 7.
