jueves, el nueve de mayo

Spanish I:

  • We went over the exercises #12 & 14, pgs 207-208 from Tuesday.
  • Students learned how to do comparisons in Spanish with adjectives, verbs, and nouns.
  • They then did exercises # 15 & 16, pg 209. These are due on Monday.
Grammar Lesson:

A. Using “más… que, menos…que, and tan…como

You can place an adjective OR a noun between “más/menos” and “que” or “tan” and “como”.
      a)      Más… que = More than

i.                    Más + adjective + que

                Yo soy más alto que tú = I am taller (more tall) than you.
                Ella es más alta que tú. = She is taller then you.
     (alta MUST agree with the person, therefore it is feminine)

ii.                  Mas + noun + que + noun

                   Me gusta más el futbol que el tenis. = I like soccer more than tennis.
                 
         iii.        Más + noun + que
                                   
                    Yo tengo más libros que tú. = I have more books than you.



 b)   Menos… que = less than

i.                    Menos + adjective + que

                    El tenis es menos divertido que el baloncesto. = Tennis is less fun
                    than basketball.


ii.                  Menos + noun + que + noun

                     Me gusta menos el futbol que el tenis. = I like soccer less than tennis.

                             
iii.                Menos + noun + que

                       Yo tengo menos libros que tú. = I have less books than you.

c)          Tan…como = as… as

i.                    Tan + adj. + como

                           El gato es tan grande como el perro. = The cat is as big as the dog.
                           Mi falda es tan bonita como tu falda.= My skirt is as pretty as your skirt.

  Don’t forget to watch adjective agreement! The adjective must agree with the noun (feminine/masculine/singular/plural)
             

B. Using “más que, menos que, and tanto como

a)      Verb + más que + verb

                                 Yo tengo tantos libros como tú. = I have as many books as you. 
                                  Yo tengo tantas faldas como tú. = I have as many skirts as you.

(Make the "tantos/tantas" agree with the noun)

            i.  verb + tanto como + verb + = as much as
          Me gusta leer tanto como escribir. = I like to read as much as to write.
