ADJECTIVES As you know when we talk about
comparison is essential to talk about adjectives.

GRAMMAR
In English we add – er – to signify more or less.
You can also add more or less in front of the adjective.
COMPARISONS IN SPANISH There is not “ er” equivalent in Spanish,
but rather we use :More or less + adjectives + than
Just use this formula, it is much easier than English!! Mas or menos + adjectivos + que
YOU CAN ALSO SAY;More than = mas queExample; Andrea duerme mas que Ricardo
Less than = menos queJulio trabaja menos que Pedro
MAS/MENOS - ABURRIDO/DIVERTIDO - QUE
El Snowboarding El Golf
MAS/MENOS- INTERESANTE - QUE
El ping-pong El surf
