Question

Write a description in Spanish, using the preterite tense, about the way Ecuadorians used to dress from any decade in the early twentieth century of your choice. Include your opinions about the clothes, such as how comfortable and practical the clothes seem to be. Also, compare the dress from that decade to current fashion trends, using comparatives and superlatives.

Answer 1

La ropa durante la época del siglo XX en Ecuador era muy típica en ese entoces. Los hombres vestían en un traje blanco y abrigo rojo con sandalias típicas de su país mientras que las mujeres vestían de un vestido (negro) con ropa por debajo. Ambos tenían un sombrero blanco. En mi opinión, la ropa me parece un poco anticuada comprando con la ropa de la actualidad. A mí me gusta más la ropa de hoy en día que la ropa de el siglo XX en Ecuador. El vestido puede ser vintage para algunas pasarelas de la moda actual. Los vestidos actuales son más amplios que los vestidos ecuatorianos.

I leave the text translated in English, so you understand:

The clothes during the time of the 20th century in Ecuador were very typical at that time. The men wore a white suit and red coat with sandals typical of their country while the women wore a (black) dress with clothes underneath. They both had a white hat. In my opinion, the clothes seem a bit old-fashioned compared to today's clothes. I like the clothes of today more than the clothes of the 20th century in Ecuador. The dress can be vintage for some current fashion catwalks. The current dresses are larger than the Ecuadorian dresses.

$\boxed{ \bold{Explanation}}$

In the text I have used the conjugation of the preterite (preterite simple) because I am narrating what the clothing of that time was like.

Superlative

There are two types of superlatives, there is the absolute and the relative.  In absolute terms, they highlight one thing without making a comparison, while the relative one highlights one thing within a group.

Formation of the relative superlative:

• Object + es + más/menos + adjetive + de(l) + object

Formation of the absolute superlative:

• Object + es + más + adjetive
• Object + es + adjetive(ísimo/a(s))
