Understanding Comparative Adverbs in Español
Comparative adverbs help us describe how actions are done in comparison to others. They tell us if something is done better, worse, or in the same way as something else.
Important Points
Comparative adverbs often use 'más' (more) or 'menos' (less) before the adverb.
To say something is done 'better' or 'worse,' use 'mejor' (better) or 'peor' (worse).
Use 'tan... como' to say actions are done equally.
When we want to compare how well or badly something is done, we use special words. In Español, these words can change depending on what we are comparing.
Examples
Ella corre más rápido que su hermano.
Él habla menos claramente que su profesor.
Cantan tan bien como los profesionales.
If you want to say someone does something better, you use 'mejor'. If they do it worse, you use 'peor'. These words help us compare actions in a simple way.
Examples
Ella dibuja mejor que yo.
Él canta peor que su amigo.
When actions are done in the same way, we use 'tan... como'. This means 'as... as' in English. It shows that two actions are equal.
Examples
Ellos estudian tan diligentemente como sus compañeros.
