    Comparative Adverbs

    Indicating More, Less, or Equality

    Like adjectives, adverbs can be used to compare. There are three forms of comparisons: comparisons of inequality (more/less), comparisons of equality (as…as), and the superlative (the most/least). 

    Inequality: Más/menos + adverb + que

    Ella trabajaba más rápido que él.She worked faster than he did.

    Equality: Tan + adverb + como

    Yo podía escribir el español tan bien como lo escribo.
    I could write Spanish as well as I do.

    Superlative: the definite article (el, la, los, las) +  más/menos + adverb
