The Himalayas is a mountain range placed in Asia. The Himalayan range is home of the highest peaks on Earth, being the Mount Everest the highest one. 

The Himalaya,

The Himalayas include over a hundred mountains exceeding 7,200 metres in heigh. They also include some of the eight-thousanders, that is, the mountains that are more than 8,000 metres high above sea level.


The eight-thousanders.

The Mount Everest is 8,848 metres high. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia, Aconcagua, in the Andes, is 6,961 metres high. So, the Mount Everest is higher than the Mount Aconcagua. 

ADJECTIVES II - MAKING COMPARISONS


Adjectives II – Making Comparisons

Comparatives and Superlatives are special forms of adjectives. They are used to compare two or more things.
El grado comparativo y el grado superlativo son formas especiales de adjetivos. Se usan para comparar dos cosas o más cosas. 

To form the comparative we use than after an adjective. To form the superlative we use the before an adjective.
Para formar el grado comparativo usamos than después del adjetivo. Para formar el grado superlativo usamos the antes del adjetivo. 

            The Mount Everest is higher than the Mount Aconcagua.
            The Mount Everes is the highest mountain on Earth.
                                                        
Generally, comparatives are formed using –er and superlatives are formed using –est.
Normalmente, el comparativo se forma usando –er y el superlativo se forma usando –est.

One-syllable adjectives form the comparative by adding the suffix –er and the superlative by adding the suffix –est  to the adjective.
Los adjetivos de una sílaba forman el comparativo añadiendo al adjetivo el sufijo –er y el superlativo añadiendo el sufijo –est. 

            tall                             taller                          tallest
            long                            longer                        longest
            cold                            colder                        coldest

With one-syllable adjectives that end in a vowel followed by a consonant, we must double the consonant and add the suffixes –er for the comparative and –est for the superlative. 
Con los adjetivos de una sílaba que terminan en una vocal seguida de consonante, debemos duplicar la consonante y añadir los sufijos –er para el comparativo y –est para el superlativo.

   fat                              fatter                          fattest
            big                              bigger                          biggest
            hot                              hotter                         hottest

If the adjectives of one or two syllables end in a consonant + y, we usually change the y for an i and add –er/–est.
Si los adjetivos de una o dos sílabas terminan en una consonante seguida de y, normalmente cambiamos la y por una i y añadimos –er/–est.

            happy                         happier                      happiest
            funny                          funnier                       funniest

With most two-syllables adjectives we use the words more and most for the comparative and superlative respectively.
Con la mayoría de los adjetivos de dos sílabas usamos las palabras more y most para el comparativo y el superlativo respectivamente.
           
            boring                        more boring                most boring

With adjectives of three or more syllables we always use more and most.
Con los adjetivos de tres y más sílabas siempre usamos more y most.

            beautiful                     more beautiful          most beautiful
            interesting                   more interesting        most interesting

There are some irregular adjectives, for example:
Hay algunos adjetivos irregulares, por ejemplo:

            good                          better (than)              (the) best
            bad                            worse (than)              (the) worst





ADJECTIVES I


Adjectives I

We use adjectives to describe nouns and pronouns (things, places, people, feelings…).
Usamos los adjetivos para describir nombres o pronombres (cosas, lugares, personas, sentimientos, etc.). 

            I have got a new bike. It’s red and small.
            He’s tall and thin.
                                                        
Adjectives have the same form for the singular and the plural. We don’t write an –s to describe plural nouns.
Tienen la misma forma para el singular y el plural. Para describir nombres en plural no hay que escribir una –s al final.

You can write an adjective in different positions:
Se puede escribir un adjetivo en diferentes posiciones:
- before a noun.                        - after the verb to be or look, seem or feel.
  delante de un nombre.                               detrás del verbo ser o parecer o sentir.

       I’ve got blue eyes.                           He feels sad.
