New game 11 (updated) : Más / Menos + adjective + que

Hi everybody , I have a new idea for a game and I hope you like grin

The idea of the game is to practice comparisons in Spanish .

Game rules :-

1 - I'll give you two nouns in both languages ( English - Spanish )

2 - And all you have to do is to choose an adjective to compare between those two nouns in Spanish .

más + adjective + que (more. . .than) OR

menos + adjective + que (less. . .than)

For Example :-

==========

Nouns given : la flora blanca (white flower) - la flora roja (red flower)

.

The comparison : la flora roja es más bonita que la flora blanca

=

The red flower is nicer than the white flower .

Please read those notes carefullywink Thank you grin

Notes :

.

  • The adjective must match the first noun as it is the subject of the comparison.

.

  • Don't forget to put another 2 nouns for the next person to play with.
  • Remember to click on NEWEST to see the last two nouns given.
  • Please provide the English translation for each sentence.
  • Try to make things a little bit different , don't use one adjective more 5 times on your posts wink
  • If there were two or more posts which use the same 2 adjectives the last one will be the next one and the other one's example will be provided on the comments that's the only solution I could found for all those duplicated posts smile

Remember: Do N O T use más before mejor .

and also remember that :

The adjective must match the first noun as it is the subject of the comparison

Great job everyonegrin

.

Exceptions

There are a few adjectives that can compare nouns without the use of the formulas above. With these adjectives, you do NOT need to use más or menos. The adjective itself is a comparison word and only needs **que ** afterwards to mean "than."

One Word Comparisons

mejor better
peor worse
mayor larger
mayor older
menor younger

.

Ok I'll start with : el fútbol - el golf

Have fun grin
