COMPLEMENTARY INFORMATION WEEK 02 OUT OF 05

DEAR STUDENT, BY NOW WE ARE  GOING TO CHECK SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES WHEN TALKING ABOUT                                                             
      THE COMPARATIVE DEGREE.

1. ADJECTIVES MUST BE WELL UNDERSTOOD AS SHORT AND LONG ADJECTIVES, WE RECOGNIZE A SHORT ADJECTIVE BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY ONE SYLLABLE, ON THE OTHER HAND LONG ADJECTIVES HAVE TWO OR MORE SYLLABLES, FOR EXAMPLE: CUTE, BIG, LONG, DEEP, NICE, RAINY, FAT ARE SHORT ADJECTIVES...HANDSOME, BEAUTIFUL, INTERESTING, AMAZING, ENTERTAINING, HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS ARE LONG ADJECTIVES.
2. TO FORM A COMPARISON WE FOLLOW THIS: 

     3. IN BOTH CASES WE HAVE TO USE THE ELEMENT " THAN " WHICH MEANS "QUE", SO A COMPLETE SENTENCE WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

• ALASKA IS COLDER THAN BRAZIL
• SOME STUDENTS UNDERSTAND MORE RAPIDLY THAN OTHERS.
• ARE YOU TALLER THAN YOUR BROTHERS OR SISTERS?
• WE CAN'T AFFORD A MORE EXPENSIVE GIFT THAN THIS FOR THE WEDDING.

     4. REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL CASES IN ADJECTIVES THAT ARE IRREGULAR:                                      

GOOD / WELL= BETTER

BAD = WORSE

FAR= FARTHER/FURTHER

LITTLE/ FEW = LESS

MUCH / MANY = MORE

SUPERLATIVE DEGREE

THE SUPERLATIVE OF AN ADJECTIVE MEANS THAT THERE IS NO COMPARISON  TO THIS PERSON, ANIMAL OR NOUN, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE SAME STRUCTURE BUT...

• THE MOST AMAZING RIDE I HAVE EVER TAKEN IS "EL CHEPE"
• SHE IS DEFINITELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD
• KIDS HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE IMAGINATION OF ALL

 REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL CASES IN ADJECTIVES THAT ARE IRREGULAR TOO:                                      

GOOD / WELL= BEST

BAD = WORST

FAR= FARTHEST / FURTHEST

LITTLE/ FEW = LEAST

MUCH / MANY = MOST

EQUALATIVE DEGREE

THIS IS QUITE SIMPLE BECAUSE NO MATTER IF THE ADJECTIVE IS SHORT OR LONG, YOU WILL ONLY WRITE:                                                                                                                                                                  

• SOME SPIDERS ARE AS POISONOUS AS SOME SNAKES
• BLUE IS AS SUITABLE A COLOR LIKE PINK OR YELLOW FOR BABIES 
• YOU ARE AS SHORT AS A PIGMEE  
• CANADIAN COMMERCE INTERACTS AS FAST AS AMERICAN COMMERCE IN THE FAR EAST
