  • 6. Adjectives 6 El grado positivo de los adjetivos, que hemos visto anteriormente, es la cualidad en el grado ms simple. fast, hard, smart, pretty, clean, large, small, old, easy... Ejemplos: Juan is fast. (Juan corre rpido.) Angela's room is clean. (La habitacin de Angela est limpia.) I am tall. (Soy alto.) New York is big. (Nueva York es grande.) El grado comparativo Al hacer comparaciones, podemos destacar la superioridad, inferioridad o igualdad de calidad de uno u otro. La estructura de cada uno de estos grados de comparacin es diferente. 1. Comparativos de superioridad. En las comparaciones de superioridad, el adjetivo, que est en la forma comparativa, es seguido por "than". o Ejemplos: Juan is faster than Mark. (Juan corre ms rpido que Mark.) Angela's room is cleaner than Sue's. (La habitacin de Angela est ms limpia que la de Sue.) I am taller than Beth. (Soy ms alto que Beth.) New York is bigger than Los Angeles. (Nueva York es ms grandeque Los Angeles.) Miss Damy Ruiz R., Eng.
  • 7. Adjectives 7 2. Comparativos de inferioridad. Para formar este tipo de comparacin podemos usar las conjunciones "not as...as" or "less...than". En ambos casos, el adjetivo est en el grado positivo. Ejemplos: Mark is not as fast as Juan. (Mark no corre tan rpido como Juan.) Sue's room is less clean than Angela's. (La habitacin de Sue no es tan limpia como la de Angela.) Beth is not as tall as me. (Beth no es tan alta como yo.) Los Angeles is not as big as New York. (Los Angeles no es tan grande como Nueva York.) 3. Comparativos de igualdad. Con el adjetivo en el grado positivo, utilizamos la conjuncin "as...as" para formar las comparaciones de igualdad. Ejemplos: Mark is as fast as Juan. (Mark corre tan rpido como Juan.) Sue's room is as clean as Angela's. (La habitacin de Sue es tan limpia como la de Angela.) Los Angeles is as big as New York. (Los Angeles es tan grande como Nueva York.) Nota: Podemos modificar un comparativo con un cuantificador (much, a lot, a little...). Miss Damy Ruiz R., Eng.
  • 8. Adjectives 8 Ejemplos: Juan is a lot faster than Mark. (Juan corre mucho ms rpido que Mark.) I am a little taller than Beth. (Soy un poco ms alta que Beth.) 4. El grado superlativo denota la calidad en el grado ms alto y como en espaol, se usa "the" delante del adjetivo en la forma superlativa (vase ms adelante). Ejemplos: Juan is the fastest. (Juan es el ms rpido.) Angela'a room is the cleanest. (La habitacin de Angela es la ms limpia.) I am the tallest. (Soy el ms alto.) New York is the biggest city in the United States. (Nueva York es la ciudad ms grande de los Estados Unidos.) Nota: Si el adjetivo es posesivo, no se usa "the". Adems no se usa "the" si comparamos algo con si mismo. Ejemplos: His smartest student is Lisa. (Su estudiante ms lista es Lisa.) New York is coldest in January. (Nueva York es ms fro en enero.) VOCABULARY Miss Damy Ruiz R., Eng.
