Comparative Adjectives Guide

This document discusses comparative adjectives in Spanish. It provides rules for forming comparative adjectives based on the number of syllables in the adjective. For one-syllable adjectives, we add "-er"; for adjectives ending in a consonant, we double the final consonant and add "-er"; for adjectives ending in "-y" we change the "y" to "i" and add "-er". For adjectives with two or more syllables, we use "more" before the adjective. Examples are provided to demonstrate the comparative forms. The document concludes with a practice section where the reader forms comparative adjectives and fills in blanks with the correct comparative form.
