1. Write and say the DATE in English.

Topic: Comparative  adjectives 

Goal: To learn how to make comparisons using the comparative adjectives.

1. Watch the following video about comparative adjectives

Remember: 

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

Los adjetivos comparativos (comparative adjectives) son adjetivos que se usan para hacer una comparación entre dos sustantivos (nouns).

Example:

This apartment is newer than that apartment. Este apartamento es más nuevo que ese apartamento

Siempre para hacer la comparación se debe usar la palabra THAN

RULES

a. A la mayor parte los adjetivos de una sílaba se les agrega la terminación ER

Example: 

Old (viejo)- older (más viejo)

My pet is older than your cat (mi mascota es más vieja que tu gato) 

b. Los adjetivos de una sílaba que terminan en E sólo se les agrega R

Example:

Nice (agradable)- Nicer (más agradable)

This book  is nicer than that magazine. (Este libro es más aradable que esa revista).

c. Los adjetivos de una silaba que termina en 1 sonido de consonante + 1 sonido de vocal + 1 sonido de consonante, se dobla la consonante y se agrega la terminación ER 

Example: 

Fat (gordo)- Fatter (más gordo)

My father is fatter than my brother (mi pdre es más gordo que mi hermano).

d. A la mayor parte de los adjetivos de dos sílabas se les escribe la palabra MORE antes del adjetivo

Example: 

Modern (moderno)- more modern (más moderno)

My t.v is more modern than yours (mi televisor es más moderno que el tuyo)

e. Los adjetivos de dos sílabas que terminan en Y, se cambia la Y por I y se agrega la terminación ER

Example:

Funny (chistoso)- funnier (más chistoso)

The Suso´s Show is funnier than Sábados Felices ( El Show de Suso es más chistoso que Sábados Felices).

f. Los adjetivos de 3 o más sílabas siempre se les escribe la palabra MORE antes del adjetivo

Example:

Expensive (costoso)- more expensive (más costoso)

That watch is more expensive than mine (ese reloj es más costoso que el mío)

IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES 

Los adjetivos irregulares son aquellos que no se les aplica ninguna de las reglas anteriores para escribir su forma comparativa y por tanto deben aprenderse de memoria

Example:

To eat vegetables is better than to eat candies. (Comer verduras es mejor que comer dulces).

Long- longer

ACTIVITY 3

SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES

1. Watch the following video about superlative adjectives:

2. Tell ideas about the video.

3. Read the following information about superlative adjectives:

Igual que los comparativos, los superlativos se forman de una manera u otra en función del número de sílabas que tenga el adjetivo, pero poniéndoles siempre the delante. Mira: 

• Si tiene una sílaba, le añadimos -est: cheap > the cheapest 

Ejemplos:

Ella es la persona más rica del país.	She is the richest person in the country.
Son las cumbres más altas de la región.	They are the highest peaks in the region.
El padre de Susan es la persona más mayor de su empresa.	Susan’s father is the oldest person in his company.

Cuando el adjetivo termina en consonante + vocal + consonante, la última consonante debe repetirse antes de añadir la terminación: fat — fattest.

Ejemplo:

• Fat (gordo)- the fattest: Pedro is the fattest in my family. (Pedro es el más gordo en mi familia).

Cuando el adjetivo de una silaba termina en e, sólo  se agrega la terminación -st.

Ejemplo:

• Nice (agradable)- The nicest: That film was the nicest in the event (Esa película fue la más agradable en el evento). 

• Si tiene dos sílabas pero acaba en y, le añadimos -est y esa y se transforma en i: easy > the easiest 

Ejemplos:

• Sunny – soleado- Sunniest: Today was  the sunniest day of the week! (Hoy fue el día más soleado de la semana)

• Easy- fácil- easiest: That exercise was the easiest of the homework.(Ese ejercicio fue el más fácil de la tarea)

• Si tiene dos sílabas y no acaba en y, ponemos most delante del adjetivo: boring > the most boring

Ejemplos:

• Creative- the most creative: John was the most creative in the game. (John fue el más creativo en el juego)

• Gracious (amable)-the most gracious: She is the most gracious person in the group. (Ella es la persona más amable en el grupo)

• Si tiene tres o más sílabas, también ponemos most delante del adjetivo: expensive > the most expensive

Ejemplos:

• Generous (generoso)- The most generous: Andrea is the most generous friend I have ever known. (Andrea es la amiga más generosa que yo he conocido alguna vez)

• Delicious (delicioso)- the most delicious: My cake is the most delicious of the party(Mi pastel es el más delicioso de la fiesta).

IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES 

Los adjetivos irregulares son aquellos que no se les aplica ninguna de las reglas anteriores para escribir su forma comparativa y por tanto deben aprenderse de memoria

Ejemplos: 

• Good (bueno)- the best ( el mejor). She is the best playing basketball (ella es la mejor jugando basketball)
• Bad (malo) - The worst (el peor, la peor): Your attitude was the worst! (Tu actitud fue la peor)
• Far (lejos)- the farthest/ the furthest (
