Question

More la television es _______ montrar en bicicleta. Use a comparative expression to the word divertido

Did you mean to type: "Mirar la televisión es________montar en bicicleta." ? You must make your own attempt, we cannot do it for you, but someone might help if you make your own try. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 13, 2015

Your English also seems a bit ungrammatical, it might be helpful to fill out your language abilities in the profile. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 13, 2015

This is a junior high student looking for assistance in understanding comparative expressions. Spelll check changed my first word and the rest of the question was directly from my book. Thanks for your non constructive assistance . - jtrilla, Mar 13, 2015

See my answer then. - bosquederoble, Mar 13, 2015

But for any English learners, "Use a comparative [removed]with/using) the word divertido" sound more natural to me. - bosquederoble, Mar 13, 2015

I do not know why the word expression ended up with removed in a box. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 13, 2015

Answer 1

This is a junior high student looking for assistance in understanding comparative expressions.

Here is a link explaining how to do it then (my guess is that you are looking for the inequality but I will provide both):

Comparisons of Inequality

To compare two nouns as being different from one another, the following formulas are used:

más + adjective/adverb/noun + que (more. . .than)

—OR—

menos + adjective/adverb/noun + que (less. . .than)

• Samuel es más artístico que ella. (Samuel is more artistic than her.) • Corre más rápido que ella. (He runs faster than her.) • Tengo menos libros que ella. (I have less books than her.)

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

Comparison of Equality

To compare two equal things using adjectives and adverbs, use the following formula: tan + adjective/adverb + como

• Sara es tan alta como tu hermano. (Sara is as tall as your brother.) • Tu coche es tan rápido como su coche. (Your car is as fast as his car.)

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

To form comparisons of equality of nouns, use the following formula: tanto(-a, -os, -as) + noun + como

• Tengo tanto dinero como Alicia. (I have as much money as Alicia.) • Mi madre tiene tanta paciencia como ella. (My mother is as patient as her.) • Tiene tantos plátanos como él. (He has as many bananas as him.) • Quiero tantas manzanas como ella. (I want as many apples as her.)

Thank you for your help. - jtrilla, Mar 13, 2015
