KEY GRAMMAR
Comparative Adjectives
We use a comparative adjective to say that things are SUPERIOR:
ADJECTIVE + ER + THAN
It is cold in England but it is colder in Iceland (Hace frío en Inglaterra pero hace más frío en
Islandia)
When the adjective ends in a consonant + vowel + consonant, the consonant at the end is
doubled:
big bigger (grande más grande)
hot hotter (caluroso más caluroso)
Over thousands of years the corals grow bigger (Durante miles de años los corales se hacen más
grandes).
Susan is noisy but Emma is noisier (Susan es ruidosa pero Emma es más ruidosa)
With most two-syllable adjectives or more, you form the comparative with:
Superlative Adjectives
We use a superlative adjective to describe one thing in a group of three or more things. Look at
these examples:

When the adjective ends in a consonant + vowel + consonant + the consonant at the end is
doubled.
