COMPARATIVES
Los comparativos sirven justamente para comparar una misma cualidad o característica en dos sustantivos.
Por ejemplo, en la frase "a small shirt" (una camisa chica), small es un adjetivo. Para comparar este objeto
con otro, se usa el adjetivo comparativo, "a smaller shirt" (una camisa más chica).
Para formar el comparativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas:
Se agrega al adjetivo "er" o "r", si ya termina en "e".
small - smaller
Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la consonante.
big – bigger
hot – hotter
Si termina en "y" se cambia por "ier".
happy - happier
Cuando el adjetivo tiene más de tres sílabas, el comparativo se forma usando la palabra "more" adelante.
expensive - more expensive
careful - more careful
IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES
good – better
bad – worse
far – farther
HP is better than EPSON.
Insulting is worse than shouting
Tumbes is farther than Lima from Huancayo.
Para comparar dos objetos en una oración, se agrega "than".
This shirt is smaller than that shirt.
Ceviche is spicier than “papa a la huancaína.”
Esta camisa es más chica que aquella camisa.
El ceviche es más picante que “la papa a la huancaína.”

AFIRMATIVO
AS + adjective + AS = TAN + adjetivo + COMO
This book is as interesting as that magazine.
