Answer:

***

...mayor que...  ----> <em>...older than...</em>

...menor que...  ----> <em>...younger than...</em>

3. Ustedes son todos menores que yo.

II

1. Cristina corre <em>más rápido</em> <em>que </em>Andrés.

2. Mariela estudia <em>más horas que </em>Felipe.

3. Pablo canta <em>mejor que </em>yo.

Explanation:

I

Comparison of adjectives.

1. In order to express that someone possesses <em>less </em>quality <em>than</em> the other, we use <em>menos. </em>This word has one single form (for both genders and both numbers) because it defines <em>the adjective </em>it stands by: <em>menos </em>talentosa. The word <em>que </em>is <em>than </em>in English - less talented than : <em>menos </em>talentosa <em>que</em>.

2. When we want to illustrate someone or something as having <em>more </em>quality, we use <em>más</em>. It precedes the adjective and attributes to it, as well as the noun described by the adjective, <em>more quality. </em>But when comparing one's quality to the quality of the other, we mustn't forget <em>que, </em>meaning than - faster than<em> </em>: <em>más </em>rápido <em>que.</em>

***

There are, however, some adjectives that have an irregular comparison. Those are:

  1. bueno/buena ---> mejor
  2. malo/mala      ---> peor
  3. viejo/vieja       ---> mayor
  4. joven               ---> menor

These forms change in plural (mejor-es/peor-es/mayor-es/menor-es). Not all of these are necessarily <em>irregular</em> (read under the number 3) but the pair <em>bueno/malo</em> are the common irregular adjectives we know are irregular in English, too.

3. When it comes to age, it would be impolite to call somebody <em>más viejo. </em>This is not incorrect but rather <em>inappropriate</em>. Same goes for <em>más joven. </em>The person we are younger <em>then </em>could feel insulted. That is why in the third sentence we use <em>menor </em>and in plural (ustedes).

II

Other comparisons.

1. In this case we compare the running of both subjects. This implies that we are comparing adverbs (which describe actions/verbs). The process is the same as with adjectives. We use <em>más </em>when the quality of the action is <em>better</em>, and we use <em>menos </em>when the action is <em>worse. </em>These words describe adverb so they should be <em>in front of </em>them: <em>más </em>rápido.

2. This time we are comparing the quantity of something, more precisely, the quantity of hours. And if we are comparing the quantity of something, it means that <em>nouns</em> are in comparison. But the rules remain the same: <em>más </em>is when there is more of something, <em>menos </em>when there is less: <em>más </em>horas.

3. Here again we should compare the quality of an action: <em>to sing</em>. But here again we face <em>an</em> <em>exception</em>: <em>well </em>has an irregular comparison (again just as in English) and we must remember that. We cannot say <em>cantar más bien. </em>The comparative of <em>bien </em>is the same as for <em>bueno</em>: cantar <em>mejor</em>.

Can anybody give me tips on how you differentiate preterite and imperfect tenses? State examples if you can!
olganol [36]
What the other guy said was right, I just want to add that if you see something “I drove many times” that would be imperfect. Anything in the past that was done more than once is imperfect

Example

“Yo manejaba muchas veces”
“Yo jugaba cada mes”

“Yo manejé una vez”
