First, let\u00b4s see if you understand these sentences making comparisons in Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El tren es tan r\u00e1pido como el metro.<br \/>\nEl autob\u00fas es menos c\u00f3modo que el coche.<br \/>\nEl avi\u00f3n es m\u00e1s caro que el autob\u00fas.<br \/>\nLas bicicletas son menos r\u00e1pidas que los coches.<br \/>\nEl metro es m\u00e1s barato que los autobuses<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Now I would like you to make comparisons using the following information: (For example: bicicletas-coches-barato &#8211; you will have to say: las bicicletas son m\u00e1s baratas que los coches)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avi\u00f3n \u2013 Barco \u2013 Peligroso<br \/>\nBicicletas \u2013 Coches \u2013 Contaminante<br \/>\nMetro \u2013 Autob\u00fas \u2013 R\u00e1pido<br \/>\nCoche \u2013 Tren \u2013 Lento<br \/>\nAutob\u00fas \u2013 Tren \u2013 Caro<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Let\u00b4s practice now some irregular Spanish comparatives. Please translate these words from Spanish to English:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mejor<br \/>\nPeor<br \/>\nMayor<br \/>\nMenor<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Next, let\u00b4s answer the following questions with irregular Spanish comparatives. Make a full sentence to answer each question. For example: \u00bfQu\u00e9 es mejor el coche o la bicicleta? El coche es mejor que la bicicleta. Sometimes, you will answer depending on your own personal opinion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es mayor, el coche o el avi\u00f3n?<br \/>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 es peor, el metro o el autob\u00fas?<br \/>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 son mejores, las bicicletas o los autobuses?<br \/>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 son menores, los barcos o los coches?<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally, translate these sentences from English to Spanish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My car is better than your car.<br \/>\nBicycles are less expensive than cars.<br \/>\nBoats are slower than planes<br \/>\nBicycles are smaller than trains.<br \/>\nThe metro is as fast as the train.<\/p>\n<p>This is all for today\u00b4s Spanish practice lesson. I hope after doing these exercises you feel more confident making comparisons in Spanish. <\/p>\n<p>Try now to compare other things, not only methods of transport, for example people, different things you have in your house, etc. The more you practice the specific structures we have seen here today, the better they will stick in your head.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week and see you soon with another Spanish practice lesson.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Adi\u00f3s!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly Spanish lessons.
