Comparativos – Comparatives

A comparative adjective is used when we want to compare two things.  In English we either add ‘-er’ to the adjective or use ‘more / less ….. than …‘ : 

e.g.  tall = taller,   beautiful = more beautiful

In Spanish the ‘-er’ form does not exist and we only use the ‘more / less …… than …….‘ way of comparing things.  Look at the examples below:
