ADJECTIVES: COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES

7 marzo, 2010 ceiplapiedad Dejar un comentario Go to comments

Los adjetivos son aqullas palabras que se unen a un nombre para ampliar, complementar y cuantificar su significado. Calificativos: good, bueno; thin, delgado; dry, seco; bad, malo; short, corto. GENERALIDADES - Los adjetivos en ingls son invariables en gnero y nmero. yellow = amarillo, amarilla, amarillos, amarillas - Normalmente se colocan delante del sustantivo: I have a big book / Tengo un libro grande - Verbo To be + (am/is/are/was, etc.) + adjetivo These pictures are very beautiful / Esas imgenes son muy bonitas - To be + adjetivo tiene en ocasiones la equivalencia a Tener Im hungry / Tengo hambre -COMPARATIVOS Y SUPERLATIVOS Al igual que en espaol, en ingls cuando queremos comparar dos cosas utilizamos los adjetivos y sus distintos grados: positivo, comparativo y superlativo. - El grado positivo refiere la forma ms simple: A sunny day / Un da soleado - El grado comparativo refiere una cualidad mayor de una cosa respecto de otra. A better day / Un da mejor

- El grado superlativo refiere la cualidad en su mayor expresin: Today is the best day of the year / Hoy es el mejor da del ao CLASES DE COMPARACIN

-COMPARATIVO DE IGUALDAD

Se forma con el adjetivo intercalado entre la construccin asas (tancomo) para frases afirmativas e interrogativas y not asas o not soas para las frases negativas. Im as young as you / soy tan joven como t am I as young as you? / soy tan joven como t? Im not so young as you / no soy tan joven como t Podemos emplear tras el segundo as el pronombre en caso nominativo o acusativo (He, his; She, her) He is as young as she; He is as young as her / l es tan joven como ella Si se trata de una comparacin entre dos verbos, podemos usar la expresin as much as (tanto como) tambin en forma negativa She does not work as much as she should / Ella no trabaja tanto como debera Cuando la comparacin se hace entre dos sustantivos se utiliza as much as para el singular y as many as para el plural. I have as much work as my boss / Tengo tanto trabajo como mi jefe I have as many pencils as you / Tengo tantos lpices como t Si estamos comparando dos sustantivos contables (libros, coches, casas) utilizaremos as many as, pero si estamos comparando dos sustantivos incontables (madera, tiempo, msica) usaremos la construccin as muchas. We have as many books as them / Tenemos tantos libros como ellos We have as much space as them / Tenemos tanto espacio como ellos

- COMPARATIVO DE INFERIORIDAD

Se forma con el adjetivo intercalado entre la construccin lessthan (menosque), aunque es ms usual encontrar la comparacin de igualdad en forma negativa (que tiene el mismo significado). Hes less young than you / l es menos joven que t Hes not as young as you / l no es tan joven como t (ms usual) Normalmente se emplea less para incontables y fewer para contables

- COMPARATIVO DE SUPERIORIDAD

Se forma de dos modos: Aadiendo al adjetivo el sufijo -er para el comparativo de superioridad y -est para el superlativo.

+ er

+ est

big (grande)

bigger (ms grande)

biggest (el ms grande)

Anteponiendo la palabra more (ms) para el comparativo de superioridad y the most para el superlativo intelligent / inteligente more intelligent / ms inteligente the most intelligent / el ms inteligente Los adjetivos de una sola slaba forman el comparativo y el superlativo con -er y -est old, older, the oldest / viejo new, newer, the newest / nuevo dark, darker, the darkest / oscuro Los de dos slabas que terminan en er, y, le y ow y los que tienen el acento (prosdico) en la ltima slaba forman tambin el comparativo y el superlativo con -er y -est clever, cleverer, the cleverest / listo idle, idler, the idlest / perezoso happy, happier, the happiest / feliz narrow, narrower, the narrowest / estrecho El resto de adjetivos de dos slabas y todos los de tres o ms forman el comparativo con more y el superlativo con most. interesting, more interesting, the most interesting / interesante COMPARATIVOS Y SUPERLATIVOS IRREGULARES Algunos adjetivos forman el comparativo de manera irregular good, better, the best / bueno, mejor, el mejor bad, worse, the worst / malo, peor, el peor far, further, the furthest / lejano, ms lejano, el ms lejano CONSIDERACIONES - Cuando un adjetivo termina en e solamente aade -r y -st para el comparativo y superlativo. large, larger, the largest / grande, ms grande, el ms grande - Cuando terminan en consonante + y cambian la y por i easy, easier, the easiest / fcil - Si termina en una sola consonante prededida de una sola vocal, duplica la consonante

big, bigger, the biggest / grande - El segundo trmino de la comparacin utiliza la forma than que corresponde al que espaol. He is taller than his brother / l es ms alto que su hermano - Cuando la comparacin se realiza entre dos adjetivos se usa more. She is more funny than happy / Ella es ms alegre que feliz - La expresin espaola cada vez ms equivale en ingls a los dos comparativos del adjetivo. The film is becoming more and more interesting / La pelcula se vuelve cada vez ms interesante This could be a bit difficult for you.

Como tal, no existe un tiempo especfico de futuro en ingls, pero existen distintos verbos y expresiones para referirnos a l.Una forma habitual de futuro en ingls tiene la siguiente estructura: Sujeto + will + verbo I will play / Yo jugar Como vemos, sta forma de futuro en ingls es bastante simple. De hecho, suele denominarse FUTURO SIMPLE (Future Simple) Podemos encontrarnos con otra forma auxiliar, vlida tambin para expresar el futuro, que es 'shall'. En este caso, 'shall' sirve como auxiliar para la primera persona del singular y plural emplendose 'will' para todas las dems. Tanto 'shall' como 'will' pueden contraerse en sus formas afirmativa y negativa (You will You'll). 'Shall' es menos utilizado, especialmente en Estados Unidos. En ingls moderno se tiende a usar 'will' para todas las personas. AFIRMATIVA NEGATIVA I (shall / will) playYou will playHe will playWe (shall / will) play You will playThey will play Yo jugarT jugarsl jugarNosotros jugaremosVosotros jugareisEllos jugarn I (shall / will) not playYou will not playHe will not playWe (shall / will) not play You will not playThey will not play Yo no jugarT no jugarsl no jugarNosotros no jugaremosVosotros no jugarisEllos no jugarn En la forma interrogativa se invirte el orden de sujeto y auxiliar: Will you play? / Jugars? La forma estructura de la forma interrogativa-negativa es:auxiliar + sujeto + not Will you not play? / No jugars? EL FUTURO PROGRESIVO Esta forma del futuro es usada en ingls con mayor frecuencia que en espaol. Su estructura es la siguiente: sujeto+ futuro de 'to be' + gerundio del verbo a conjugar You will be flying to Paris tomorrow at this hour / Maana a esta hora estars volando hacia Paris Las formas negativa, interrogativa e interrogativa-negativa se construyen de forma anloga a la explicada para el futuro simple. FORMA NEGATIVA FORMA INTERROGATIVA FORMA INT. NEGATIVA I shall / will not be playing no estar jugando shall / will I be playing?estar jugando? shall / will I not be playing?no estar jugando? USO DEL FUTURO PROGRESIVO Sirve para indicar una accin que se desarrollar en el futuro. Pueden ser acciones o situaciones que no conocemos cundo exactamente se producirn aunque tambin puede expresar acciones ya planificadas y que se producirn en un determinado momento. They will be leaving tomorrow / Ellos saldrn maana EL FUTURO PERFECTO Sirve para indicar la duracin de una accin. Expresa una accin que terminar en un determinado momento del futuro. Suele ir acompaado de la preposicin 'by'.

They will have written the novel by next month / Ellos habrn escrito la novela el prximo mes. Su estructura es la siguiente: sujeto + futuro de 'to have' + participio FORMA AFIRMATIVA FORMA NEGATIVA FORMA INTERROGATIVA I shall have playedYo habr jugado I shall not have playedYo no habr jugado Shall I have played?Habr jugado? INTERROGATIVO-NEGATIVA: Shall I not have played? / No habr jugado? EL FUTURO PERFECTO PROGRESIVO Sirve para expresar acciones que se desarrollan hasta un momento determinado del futuro en el que pueden finalizar o no. Next year I shall have been studying ten years / El ao prximo llevar diez aos estudiando. Su estructura es la siguiente: sujeto + futuro de 'to have' + participio de 'to be' + gerundio FORMA AFIRMATIVA FORMA NEGATIVA I shall have been playing Yo habr estado jugando I shall not have been playing Yo no habr estado jugado FORMA INTERROGATIVA INTERROG-NEGATIVA Shall I have been playing? Habr estado jugando? Shall I not have been playing? No habr estado jugando? OTRAS FORMAS DE EXPRESAR EL FUTURO - El Presente como futuro. En ingls, al igual que en espaol, podemos emplear tiempos del presente para hablar del futuro. El Presente Simple puede ser usado para hablar de acciones conocidas de antemano o planificadas (que no dependen de nuestra voluntad). Our holidays begin in August / Nuestras vacaciones comienzan en agostoYour flight leaves at 17:15 on Monday / Su vuelo sale a las 17:15 el lunes El Presente progresivo o Presente continuo como futuro. Cuando hablamos de planes, proyectos, citas, etc. utilizamos el Presente continuo. We're playing football this afternoon / Vamos a jugar al ftbol esta tarde - El futuro con 'going to' Es una forma muy habitual para referirse a una accin relativa a una intencin o una decisin que se haba tomado con anterioridad. Al igual que el Presente Progresivo se puede utilizar para expresar planes, citas, etc. Are you going to take the car tonight? / Vas a coger el coche esta noche? - Con 'to be' + infinitivo, para indicar lo que est programado para el futuro The president is to meet the congressmen tomorrow / El presidente se reunir con los congresistas maana - Con 'to have to' (tener que) I have to go to the dentist / Tengo que ir al dentista

mparatives and Superlatives

Introduction
Comparatives and Superlatives are special forms of adjectives. They are used to compare two or more things. Generally, comparatives are formed using -er and superlatives are formed using -est. This page will explain the rules for forming regular comparatives and superlatives, and also show some basic ways of using them.

1. Forming comparatives and superlatives

How these forms are created depends on how many syllables there are in the adjective. Syllables are like sound beats. For instance, sing contains one syllable, but singing contains two sing and ing. Here are the rules:
Adjective form Only one syllable, ending in E. Examples: wide, fine, cute Only one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end. Examples: hot, big, fat Only one syllable, with more than one vowel or more than one consonant at the end. Examples: light, neat, fast Comparative Add -r: wider, finer, cuter Superlative Add -st: widest, finest, cutest Double the consonant, and add -est: hottest, biggest, fattest

Double the consonant, and add -er: hotter, bigger, fatter

Add -er: lighter, neater, faster

Add -est: lightest, neatest, fastest
