The comparative
When you compare two or more things, you will
probably need to use the words más and que. Más
means more and you can use it to say that
something is more important, bigger, smaller,
more interesting etc. El Señor Pearson es más
atractivo que Brad Pitt atractivo feo

The comparative
Menos works in the same way, but means the
opposite. It is used to say that something is
less big, fast, expensive etc. than something
else. guay super guay Puff Daddy es menos
guay que el Señor Pearson With both más and
menos, it is important that you remember to make
the adjective agree with what is being
described La bicicleta es más rápida que ir a
pie.

The comparative
There are some irregular forms to remember,
however. If you want to say that something is
better or worse than something else, you need to
use the following expressions. Mi coche es mejor
que su coche. My car is better than his car.
(more good!) El coche de mi abuela es peor que
mi coche. (badder!) My grandmothers car is worse
than my car. These are irregular in English too!
