Comparatives allow us to compare two things — to say that something is more, less, or equally [adjective] compared to something else. In English, we say "taller than," "less expensive than," or "as interesting as." Spanish has clear, consistent structures for all three types of comparison.
The most common comparative structure. It is used for superiority — saying something has more of a quality than something else.
Structure: Subject + verb + más + adjective + que + comparison
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| María es más alta que Pedro. | María is taller than Pedro. |
| Este libro es más interesante que ese. | This book is more interesting than that one. |
| Mi casa es más grande que tu casa. | My house is bigger than your house. |
| El español es más fácil que el chino. | Spanish is easier than Chinese. |
