Comparing – ‘more than’ and
‘less than’
To make comparisons in English we use ‘more than’ and ‘less than’: ‘Maths is more
difficult than Spanish’. We also add -er to adjectives: ‘Spanish is easier than Maths’.
Spanish is easier! You don’t need to learn any more word
endings. But you still have to remember to check that the
verbs and adjectives are correct:
La fruta (f/s) es más sana que el helado. Fruit is healthier than
ice-cream.
Las verduras (f/pl) son más sanas que las patatas fritas.
Vegetables are healthier than chips.
Las verduras contienen menos grasa que las patatas fritas.
Vegetables contain less fat than chips.

Using tú and usted
In Spanish there are four words for ‘you’.
Tú (to one person) and vosotros (to more than one
person) are the familiar ways of saying 'you'. Use them
for friends, family and younger people.
Usted (to one person) and ustedes (to more
than one person) are the polite ways of saying
'you'. Use them to strangers, teachers and older
people.
