Más/Menos … Que
Comparative and superlative are also used in Spanish to describe equality and inequality.
The comparative is called the first form of intensification, and the superlative is called the second form of intensification. However, there is just a tiny difference between the forms.
We use the comparative to compare unequal things using verbs/adjectives/adverbs.
However, we also use it to compare equal things using verbs/adjectives/adverbs.
We mostly form the comparative with más/menos and the word que.
When we use adjectives, nouns or adverbs, the sentence structure looks like this: tengo menos hambre que mi hermana.
When we use verbs, the sentence structure changes and looks like this:
Mi madre habla más que yo.
Examples
- Este hombre es más importante que aqué.
- Mi hermana tiene menos dinero que mi madre.
- Mi madre habla más que yo.
